It is pertinent to mention here that the PML-N has already invited applications from the interested candidates to contest the general elections.
The Supreme Court on Friday declared February 8, 2024, as the date for holding general elections across the country after the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) submitted a notification in the Supreme Court pertaining to the polls date.
A three-member bench of the apex court heard multiple pleas seeking elections within the 90 days after the dissolution of the national and provincial assemblies.
