The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has decided to activate local bodies in Punjab, sources said on Thursday.
The local bodies elections are likely to be held next year, the PML-N insiders said, adding that former prime minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif will make the formal announcement.
In 2015, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government held the local bodies elections in Punjab; since then, these could not be held.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf came under fire for halting the local bodies election in Punjab.
The PML-N leaders said the PTI government deprived the people of development by defying court orders to hold the local bodies elections.
