Islamabad, March 1

The polling to elect Pakistan’s new President will be held on March 9, the election commission announced on Friday, a position that former President Asif Ali Zardari is almost certain to win again after nearly 11 years.

The new President would replace incumbent Arif Alvi, whose term ended last year. However, he has continued since the new electoral college was not yet formed. Alvi’s successor could not be elected due to the absence of the National Assembly and provincial assemblies which were dissolved in August 2023.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
