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.

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 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.
