Khursheed Shah, the federal minister for water resources, said on Wednesday that the government had decided to bring the electoral reforms bill to the National Assembly the following week.
The federal minister told the media in Islamabad that electoral reforms needed to be made and that election couldn’t happen without them.
Shah said that elections couldn’t happen until October or November. He also said that the election commission had asked for new elections to be held in seven months.
“We will have to change the way elections work. Some reforms will happen before the budget, and some will happen after it,” he said.
Shah also said that no decision had been made about whether or not to file a motion of no-confidence against the Senate chairman.
Khursheed Shah said, “Imran Khan is running against the state, not the government.” He also said that Imran Khan’s Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) was not asked about contempt cases against him.
“Imran Khan’s government was removed legally,” Khursheed said, adding that Hamza Shehbaz had the most votes in Punjab by four.
