ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) Tuesday took stern notice of the incident that happened during the by-elections of PS-88 Malir II.
In a statement, the Election Commission said that implementation of code of conduct would be ensured during the by-elections.

“Action will be taken against those who disrupt the election process and interfere in duties of the Election Commission. The peaceful conduct of elections is the constitutional responsibility of the Election Commission. All those responsible will be prosecuted according to law,” the commission contended.
Meanwhile, for the by-elections in Kurram and Nowshehra, special measures have been taken by the Election Commission in view of the corona pandemic. “Hand sanitizers, thermometers will be made available in all polling stations. Free masks will be provided to polling staff,” the commission said.
