Peshawar: Prime Minister Imran Khan arrived in Peshawar Wednesday despite being directed by Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to not visit, in view of the forthcoming local government elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
According to a letter by regional election commissioner, Prime Minister has been asked not to visit Peshawar ahead of scheduled local bodies’ elections in the KP on December 19.
The ECP, hence, warned Imran Khan of legal action in case of any violation of its code of conduct under Sections 233 and 234 of the Election Act of Pakistan.
Referring to ECP’s notice, KP Minister for High Education Kamran Bangash clarified that Prime Minister’s visit to Peshawar is of a “purely official nature”.
“He will only take part in a ceremony at the Governor's House and will not attend any election or public gathering in Peshawar,” he added.
He further added that the day was part of the day-to-day affairs of the state and there should be no restriction on such visits.
