Pakistan election commission disqualifies former PM Imran Khan

The Supreme Court and the Election Commission did the right thing and followed the Constitution regarding the Punjab and KP assembly elections, despite the intense pressure from the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party. Nearly a year into this political and economic crisis, the country will only find a solution through democratic elections.
While the Supreme Court and the Election Commission have allowed these two provincial polls to be prematurely held before the general elections, they have so far failed to provide an explanation on whether the assemblies would have to be dissolved again or not. It's evident that they have fallen into Khan's trap of dragging the country into further turmoil and legal battles to influence the outcome of the general elections.
