The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) conducted the hearing regarding the LB polls in Islamabad. At the outset of the hearing, the federal government pleaded with the ECP to grant more time for holding the local bodies’ elections in the federal capital.

The ECP said that the government can make the law soon if it wants. Later, the judgement was reserved by the supreme electoral body.
