Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has approached the Supreme Court to prevent the delay of the country's general elections, according to multiple news reports. PTI argued before the court that the president should announce the election date within 90 days, and urged the court to order the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to publish the election schedule. Additionally, PTI requested that the Supreme Court declare the Council of Common Interests' judgment on delimitation and the 2023 census as invalid.

The Lahore High Court had previously ordered that the upcoming general elections should be held within 90 days, and has sent notices to the ECP and the President's Principal Secretary regarding the election date announcement. However, all political parties have agreed to base the elections on the results of the most recent census, which received universal approval from the Council of Common Interests. The ECP has stated that the general elections will not take place within the next 90 days, as the commission needs time to complete the delimitation process.

The first publishing of the delimitation procedure is scheduled for October 9, with the last publishing set for December 14. PTI's petition to the Supreme Court highlights the ongoing debate and legal challenges surrounding the election delay and the use of the 2023 census data. As Pakistan prepares for the general elections, it remains crucial for the electoral process and the subsequent governance to remain fair, transparent, and in accordance with legal and constitutional requirements.
