Government Plans Ordinance to Amend Islamabad Local Government Act

A federal cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has concluded in Islamabad, resulting in the formal ratification of decisions made by the Cabinet Committee on Legislative Cases (CCLC).

Amidst these administrative updates, local government elections in Islamabad appear likely to face another delay.

Sources indicate that the government has decided to introduce an ordinance to amend the Islamabad Local Government Act, which will include a provision to increase the total number of wards within the capital territory.
