Pakistan's Senate approved a resolution on January 5 to further delay national elections, which had been scheduled to take place on February 8, the chairman of the Senate said. The resolution passed by the Senate, however, is not binding and does not necessarily mean elections will be further delayed. There was no immediate comment from the election commission, the body that conducts elections in the country. Elections were originally due to be held in November but were first delayed to February due to the fresh demarcation of constituencies under a new census.
