The Supreme Court firmly rejects any possibility of delaying the elections.

The Supreme Court in Islamabad declared on Monday that objections to delimitations cannot be raised after the announcement of the schedule for the upcoming general elections.
A three-member bench, led by interim Chief Justice Sardar Tariq, heard an appeal by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) against the Balochistan High Court's (BHC) decision to alter the delimitations conducted by the ECP, particularly focusing on two provincial seats in Quetta.
The court nullified the BHC's ruling on delimitation, effectively closing avenues for election delays, as any petitions challenging ECP's delimitation will no longer be entertained by courts across the country.
This follows the recent Supreme Court decision overturning the Lahore High Court's order that had halted the training of returning officers, reducing uncertainties and ensuring elections proceed as scheduled.
The Chief Justice of Pakistan, Qazi Faez Isa, directed the ECP to announce the election schedule, resolving the uncertainties surrounding the polls. The court ruled that the Lahore High Court would not conduct further hearings on petitions related to the appointment of polling officers, directing all matters on the issue to be referred to the Supreme Court. 
Following this decision, the ECP issued the much-awaited schedule for the general polls and resumed training for returning officers and district returning officers.
The electoral timeline had faced complexities due to the dissolution of the National Assembly, early polls scheduling, and the need for fresh delimitation after the approval of the 2023 digital census results by the Council of Common Interests.
Despite previous concerns, the consensus date for the elections was set for February 8 after consultations between the ECP and the president, aligning with the constitutional deadline.
