Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has rejected any possibility of a delay in general elections, stating that polls will be held in October.
“The assemblies will complete their five-year term in August and polls will take place within the next 60 days. Elections will be held on time,” Asif said on Sunday while talking to The Express Tribune.
When asked what he meant by “on time”, the minister clarified that he meant October.
The federal government is readying up to present the budget for the next fiscal year, scheduled to be tabled on June 9 before the National Assembly.
