Federal Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar has firmly dismissed the possibility of early elections. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to completing its full term during a media briefing at the Parliament House.
Tarar emphasized that while early elections might be desired by opposition leaders, the government has no intention of deviating from the constitutional mandate.
He stated, “Elections will be held at the appointed time,” and reiterated that the constitution mandates a five-year term for assemblies, with no current conditions necessitating early elections.
Addressing a question about Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Omar Ayub’s allegations that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is spreading hatred between the army and the PTI, the law minister suggested seeking answers from Ayub himself to substantiate his claims.
He also stressed the importance of maintaining national unity and avoiding divisive rhetoric.
