ECP's Decision on Islamabad Local Polls: Unconstitutional Amendments and the Road Ahead

Описание: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has made a crucial announcement regarding local government elections in Islamabad. In a recent verdict, the ECP ruled that amendments to the Islamabad Local Government Act 2015 were unconstitutional and unlawful.
The ECP's decision highlights the importance of adhering to the Constitution and the law. It states that the Secretary of the Local Government Department cannot conduct elections for reserved seats, as appointing election officials is the sole authority of the commission.
The ECP will now appoint its election staff, ensuring a fair and transparent process. This development comes after a meeting chaired by Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, where senior officials were summoned to discuss proposed amendments.
Stay tuned for more updates on the local government elections in Islamabad and the ECP's efforts to ensure a smooth and democratic process.
