Punjab Seeks Constitutional Protection for Local Bodies

Article 140-A pertains to the establishment of local governments in provinces, stating:
Each Province shall, by law, establish a local government system and devolve political, administrative and financial responsibility and authority to the elected representatives of the local government.
The law further holds the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) responsible for holding local government elections, with the provincial assembly pushing for an amendment to mandate local government polls within 90 days of dissolution.
