ISLAMABAD: The elections for Executive Council of the Islamabad Chess Association (ICA) for the term 2025-29 will be held tomorrow (Thursday).

The General Body of the ICA held a significant meeting on April 27, 2025, chaired by Vice President Munir Sadiq in the absence of the president (resigned) and inactive Senior Vice President.

During the session, key decisions were made regarding the association’s upcoming elections and the status of affiliated clubs.
