All vacant positions of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) have been filled after Babar Hassan Bharwana and Justice (retd) Ikramullah Khan on Wednesday took oath as new members of ECP.

The swearing-in ceremony was held at the Election Commission Secretariat while Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja administered the oath to the new members and the function was attended by Election Commission members, Secretary Election Commission, former Secretary Election Commission Kanwar Dilshad, and family members of the members.

Earlier, President Arif Alvi on Monday appointed Babar Hassan Bharwana and Justice (retd) Ikramullah Khan as members of the ECP from Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, respectively.

Both the positions fell vacant due to the retirement of Justice (R) Altaf Ibrahim Qureshi (member Punjab) and Justice (R) Irshad Qaiser (member KP).
