The development came after the KP Governor met with Dr Arif Alvi at the Aiwan-e-sadr to discuss matters related to conducting the general polls in the province in light of Article 224 (2) of the Constitution of Pakistan and the Supreme Court of Pakistan's order.
The country's top court had in a split verdict on March 1, ruled that elections for KP and Punjab assemblies should be held within 90 days.
The president's advice came after the KP governor called on him.
President Alvi asked the KP governor to ensure implementation of the apex courts order in "Letter and spirit", where in it had been directed that the KP governor must, after consultation with the Election Commission of Pakistan ( ECP), forthwith appoint a date for the holding of the general election to the Provincial Assembly "to avoid any complication as almost a period of two weeks has already passed by".
