In cases where a consensus on a nominee cannot be reached, the matter will be referred to the Election Commission. The ECP is mandated to make a decision within 48 hours.

The ex-Secretary of the Election Commission further highlighted that, as per Article 224 of the Constitution, a decision must be reached within a week, and during this period, the governor will oversee the province.
