Under the rules, fresh polls for the two provincial assemblies should be held within 90 days, and Khan's Pakistan's Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is gambling on the national government being unable to afford to hold the provincial elections separately from a national election, which is otherwise due by October. Pakistan has four provinces, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the northwest and Punjab in the east account for more that half of the country's 220 million population. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's governor Ghulam Ali said he had accepted the resignation tendered by the PTI government a day earlier, telling reporters that he had "no other option".

Welcome to Foreign Policy’s South Asia Brief. The highlights this week: Pakistan’s Supreme Court rejects an Election Commission decision to delay two provincial elections, China provokes India with a symbolic move along their disputed border, and the World Bank and Asian Development Bank lower India’s economic growth forecast for the year—but it remains a regional bright spot. Pakistan’s Provincial Elections Crisis This week, Pakistan’s Supreme Court However, the government in Islamabad, led by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, has already The fight over Punjab’s provincial elections is tied to Pakistan’s upcoming national elections, currently scheduled to be held no later than mid-October. Since his ouster nearly a year ago, former Prime Minister Imran Khan has demanded snap elections. The Punjab assembly was controlled by Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, and he ordered the legislature dissolved early to put more pressure on Islamabad.
