During a meeting of the electoral watchdog chaired by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikander Sultan Raja, the ECP rejected the request of the Sindh government to postpone local body elections due to legal and constitutional requirements.

In a late-night development, the ruling PPP had requested to postpone the elections in the Karachi division, Hyderabad and two tehsils of the Dadu district, Khairpur Nathan and Meher.
