Date for polls is floating between 6 and 9 May.

The Election Commission of Pakistan on Friday has submitted a tentative schedule to the government, with proposals for holding elections between May 6 and 9.

The tentative schedule has been sent to the law ministry which will in turn forward it to the President who will then announce the final schedule for elections.

The President may announce a schedule between March 18 and 21.

The schedule includes the deadline for submission of nomination papers and polling dates.

Earlier in the day, the ECP issued the code of conduct for all observers, polling staff and security personnel present during the general polls.

Military officials also assured the ECP that the army will cooperate to provide security at polling stations and in sensitive areas.

At lease it will be confirmed by 10th May 2013 that Imran Khan has become the P.M of Pakistan.

The date of election is not important at all, the most important thing is which political party is going to win the elections and what type of government will be formed in Pakistan?

People of Pakistan have become sick and tired of the present situation and the entire corrupt system in every sphere of life, therefore, people want change of government by all means.
