the president also confirmed the appointment of Nasir Durrani and Shah Mohammad Jatoi as members of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) from Sindh and Balochistan respectively
ISLAMABAD: The government on Friday notified Sikandar Sultan Raja as the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) for a five-year term. A notification issued by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs said President Arif Alvi endorsed the appointment under Article 213 and 215, read with Article 48 of the Constitution.
In another notification, the president also confirmed the appointment of Nasir Durrani and Shah Mohammad Jatoi as members of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) from Sindh and Balochistan respectively.
The appointments came in the light of the November 2, 2019 order issued by the Islamabad High Court.
On August 22, President Arif Alvi appointed Khalid Mehmood Siddiqui as ECP member for Sindh and Munir Ahmed Kakar for Balochistan against the positions vacated by Soomro and Baloch, from the two provinces. However, both of them were denied the oath. In November, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) suspended the notification of their appointment on a petition from PML-N MNAs Murtaza Javed Abbasi and Dr Nisar Cheema.
