"Elections must be held promptly, either within 90 days or, if not [possible], within 120 days," he told reporters. “The PPP was ready for elections before and … is ready for elections in 90 days, according to the Constitution,” he said. According to the Constitution, if the National Assembly is dissolved prematurely, general elections should be held within 90 days. Consequently, the ECP stated that holding elections within 90 days would not be feasible and proposed a date sometime in February of the following year. Bilawal pointed out a difference in interpretation of the Constitution among the PPP, the ECP and the PDM.
