The upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for December, as announced by the Chief Adviser, are now facing uncertainty. The election preparations have been stalled due to amendments in the Political Party Registration section of the Representation of the People Order and the Delimitation Act. The Election Commission has no clear idea about the proposed amendments and has received no official instructions regarding them. Additionally, 1,849,326 new voters will be eligible to vote starting January 2, 2026, meaning they will be excluded if elections are held in December. The Chief Election Commissioner stated that election preparations are currently on hold due to ongoing reforms. He added that unless there is clarity on whether the elections will be conducted under amended laws or existing ones, holding them in December would be impossible. The Press Secretary affirmed that the election date would be announced based on national consensus. Earlier, on December 16, the Chief Adviser had indicated that the elections would take place in late December 2025 or early 2026.
