LG polls to be held by Oct-Nov: Khattak

PESHAWAR: Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pervez Khattak Sunday announced that local bodies’ elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will be organized by the month of October-November.

Addressing a programme in Lahore, he said other provinces told lies in connection with holding the local bodies’ polls.

Pervez Khattak described the center as a hurdle in creation of employment opportunities in KP.

He said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan does not interfere in the provincial matters and that being a chief minister he would neither allow any such meddling.

Khattak said corruption could not be eliminated if the party leader or chief minister himself is corrupt.
