PESHAWAR: Advisor to the KP Chief Minister on Information and Higher Education Kamran Bangash announced on Tuesday that local bodies election will be held in the province in September.
Speaking to the media after a meeting of the provincial cabinet, he said local bodies polls could not be held last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, adding the government is in contact with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in this regard.
