Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday said that the federal government led by the Pakistan Democratic Movement will hand over to an interim setup in August, paving the way for general elections in the country. The prime minister further reiterated that the coalition government would hand over matters to a caretaker setup in August this year. “I assure you that our government will end on August 14, and whenever elections happen, the ECP will announce it," the prime minister had said on Wednesday. Under Article 224 of the Constitution, if any assembly is dissolved before the completion of its term, elections will be held within 90 days. If the assembly is dissolved on the completion of its term, the Election Commission has to conduct the polls within a 60-day period.
