      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar has assured Chief Election Commissioner Sikander Sultan Raja of providing all kinds of support for transparent &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/trends/general-elections"&gt;general elections&lt;/a&gt;, which are due on &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30339068/president-alvi-and-ecp-settle-polls-controversy"&gt;February 8&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a statement, he said that the government would ensure provision of all necessary resources.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He said during a meeting with the CEC who called on him in Islamabad. CEC Raja briefed the premier on the preparations of the commission regarding the conduct of general elections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Raja invited Kakar to visit the electoral authority office to review the preparations for the general elections.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last week, CEC Raja and President Arif Alvi &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30339028/supreme-court-orders-ecp-to-give-final-election-date"&gt;unanimously agreed&lt;/a&gt; to hold general elections in the country on February 8, 2024 following the &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30339028/supreme-court-orders-ecp-to-give-final-election-date"&gt;Supreme Court’s ultimatum to decide the polls date by the next hearing of the case related to the election delay&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier in the day, the United States administration said that it was ‘&lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30339554/us-expresses-support-for-free-and-fair-elections-in-pakistan"&gt;focused&lt;/a&gt;’ on making sure fair elections take place in the Pakistan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Our focus continues to be on ensuring and supporting that there are free and fair elections that are conducted in a way for the benefit of the Pakistani people,” US State Department’s Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said during a press briefing on November 6.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He added that it was up to the people of Pakistan to decide when asked about many analysts in Pakistan doubts that elections would happen without former prime minister Imran Khan.&lt;/p&gt;
