Due to various issues that have arisen within many political parties during the selection of members for LG bodies, submission of name lists to the Election Commission (EC) are being delayed, reports say.
As a result, the establishment of LG bodies is expected to be delayed further.
In this backdrop, the EC has instructed all political parties and independent groups to submit their name lists within a week.
The gazette on the newly appointed members will follow only after the EC receives all lists.
