Re-elections for local bodies’ seats were held on Sunday in five districts of Balochistan – Loralai, Pishin, Killa Saifullah and Musa Khail.
Re-polling was held due to discrepancies in the results, the provincial election commission said.
“Elections were held peacefully. However, polling could not take place in Union Council Malik Yar Pishin due to error in symbols and law and order issue,” Election Commissioner Balochistan Sultan Bayzeed told The Express Tribune.
The result will reach Balochistan Election Commission on Monday as most of the areas are hundreds of kilometres from Quetta. “It will take time to get the official results,” officials said.
The election commission has set up 39 polling stations where 150 polling staff performed duties.
The commission will announce elections for reserved seats after March 20.
