Asad Umar said: “In the meeting chaired by PTI chief Imran Khan, it has been decided to challenge the decision to postpone the election,” adding that the concept of Pakistan is not possible without the constitution and democracy, while the decision of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has flouted the constitution.

The Supreme Court had ordered the elections to be held in both the provinces within 90 days, after which the Election Commission had suggested the dates from April 30 to May 7 for the elections in Punjab.
The President of the State had fixed April 30 as the date for the Punjab Assembly elections. On the other hand, Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Haji Ghulam Ali has given the date of May 28 for the by-elections in the province.
