Elections to be postponed for another 6 months, PPP leader claims

KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party leader and Adviser to Chief Minister Sindh on Agriculture Manzoor Wassan, known for his political forecasts, ruled out possibility of martial law in the country.

He said, “I don’t see the holding of general elections on time and there are chances elections could be postponed from six months to a year.”

He said that a time will be sought for holding accountability then elections will be held.
