Polls could come back after the Local Administration Department has been told to set up "a war room" to prepare local elections. A source at the Election Commission (EC) said the government has told the Local Administration Department to set up "a war room" to prepare local elections as the government wanted to assess local support for the government and parties. The source said that a timeline has been drawn up for local elections in areas which will not be affected by the redrawing of electoral boundaries. Local elections will be held within 45 days of these bills coming into effect. It also froze all local elections.
