Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Karachi Ameer Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman has announced a sit-in outside the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) office today over the electoral watchdog’s failure to meet its deadline. The JI had given the ECP two days to announce the schedule for the completion of electoral process to reinstate a local government in the city.
The JI leader made the announcement at a press conference held at its headquarters on Friday.
Rehman said that the JI had asked the ECP to announce the schedule for polls in the 11 remaining union councils where elections were postponed because of the death of contesting candidates.
He said that the Pakistan People Party (PPP) needed to understand that JI had popular support. “They should show some courage and accept the mandate of the JI.”
