The political parties on Friday rejected an ‘unconstitutional’ resolution adopted by Senate, seeking a delay in February 8 general elections. Addressing a press conference, PPP Senator Sherry Rehman pointed out that the party has a clear stance that the elections should not be delayed. “We didn’t support the resolution,” she said, adding that PPP was ready for the polls. Meanwhile, PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said that a resolution of 14 Senators based on their personal opinions, has no “legal or binding force in the constitutional process of holding general elections”.
