ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) has sought more time from the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to conduct intra-party elections.
The ECP held a hearing on the JUI-F's failure to hold intra-party elections, by a four-member commission led by Nisar Durrani.
During the hearing, JUI-F’s counsel explained that the party would first conduct provincial-level elections before moving on to central elections.
