ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) leader Raja Riaz said that elections are likely to be held in February 2023, ARY News reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In his interview to ARY News programme \u201cSawal yeh hai\u201d, the PML-N leader said the upcoming general elections will be held around February 15, 2023, without any delay.<\/p>\n

He lambasted PPP saying that they are trying to distance themselves from the outcomes of 16-month PDM government tenure.<\/p>\n

Raja Riaz said that the caretaker government has no members who have an association with the PML-N.<\/p>\n

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) earlier announced that general elections would be held<\/a> in the last week of January 2024.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the ECP said that it reviewed work on delimiting constituencies and decided that the initial list for the delimitation of constituencies would be published on September 27.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe final delimitation list will be published on November 30,\u201d said ECP, adding that general elections will be held in the last week of January 2024 following the 54-day election schedule.<\/p>\n

The electoral body was under immense pressure from the political parties regarding the announcement of the\u00a0election date.<\/a><\/p>\n

The announcement comes a day after the ECP said it had scheduled a meeting with political parties next month to discuss the code of conduct for general elections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
