Karachi, The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is actively enforcing its code of conduct in various districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab, taking stringent measures against candidates who violate election rules. This includes issuing notices and fines to ensure compliance with the established guidelines.

According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the ECP’s monitoring teams have been vigilant in identifying and addressing any breaches of the election code. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, actions have been taken against candidates for various violations. Similarly, in Punjab, monitoring teams have been equally active.

In Nankana Sahib, candidates have been warned for displaying Panaflex and billboards in violation of the code.
