The ECP had announced to start fresh delimitations across the country for local body elections after latest population census. Prime Minister Imran Khan had said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government wanted to introduce such a local body system, which could solve problems of masses at the grass-roots level.
