Parliamentary committee reaches stalemate over ECP appointments issue

ISLAMABAD: A 12-member parliamentary committee, chaired by Minister for Human Rights Dr. Shireen Mazari, met on Tuesday to discuss the appointment of chief election commissioner (CEC) and members of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

During the meeting, the committee considered nominations against the ECP seats from Sindh and Balochistan, forwarded by the government and the opposition.

However, the meeting ended without concluding the names.

The government and the opposition parties forwarded their nominations for appointment of ECP members to National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser and Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjarani, who then forwarded it to the parliamentary committee for a final decision.
