He added that it would have been preferable that the ECP had set the election date itself, avoiding the need for Supreme Court intervention.

“Whatever has transpired, it is now behind us, and we must focus on holding the elections on February 8,” he added.

Bilawal emphasised the importance of a level-playing field for all political parties in the elections. He pointed out that in in 1988 and 2008, the PPP was not given a level-playing field but it secured its mandate and formed governments.
