PPP rejects any delay in election

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) rejects any delay in January 8 elections, a party official said on Monday after government and electoral officials said the vote would be postponed.

“We are ready for elections and do not want any delay. We demand immediate elections — and on January 8,” senior party official Shah Mahmood Qureshi told AFP.

“The government should stick to the schedule. If the government delays the election, we will call a central executive committee meeting to decide our future course of action,” said Qureshi, a committee member.
