No loadshedding on elections day, ECP directs Wapda

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has issued instructions to WAPDA authorities to refrain from loadshedding on February 8 during polling process, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Saturday.

In this regard, ECP informed the WAPDA authorities in writing.

Sources said ECP also instructed WAPDA to refrain from announced and unannounced loadshedding across the country on polling day.

There is a fear that the vote counting process will be affected after the polling process is completed due to load shedding.

These instructions were being issued because unannounced loadshedding continues in various parts of the country.
