ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in a major shake-up on Thursday approved postings and transfers of scores of officers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa following a massive bureaucratic re-shuffle in other three provinces a day earlier.

In order to ensuring transparency, fairness and level-playing field to all contesting parties and candidates, the Election Commission had asked for reshuffle of bureaucratic set-up in all the four provinces.

The Election Commission okayed transfers of as many as 20 secretaries and a chairman in addition to the transfer of 38 deputy commissioners, assistant commissioners and directors in the province.
