The Election Commission (EC) has included plans to support political parties’ campaigns after the schedule announcement in its roadmap for the national election. The EC Secretariat unveiled the roadmap on Thursday, setting out the commission’s plans in preparation for the election. Asked about the polling date and schedule announcement, Akhtar did not give a specific date. This process is expected to be completed by Nov 20, 2025, about a month before the expected schedule announcement. This suggests the election schedule is likely to be declared in the second or third week of December.
