Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Haji Ghulam Ali urged Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to hold the general elections in province on October 8. It was the same date the electoral watchdog announced for Punjab, keeping in mind a rise in terror activities. The governor, in the letter to Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, said it would be in the “best public interest as well as in the interest of the state” if polls were held in October instead of a previous date that he had suggested.
