Islamabad / Peshawar:
In a procedural decision before the elections in the Senate of July 21, the Pakistan Electoral Commission (ECP) wrote to the registrar of the High Court of Peshawar (PHC), requesting the appointment of an officer under article 255 (2) of the Constitution.
The stage aims to facilitate the oath of elected members to the reserved seats of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa before the ballot day.
The letter underlines that the elections in the Senate and the oath were constitutional requirements, urging the formalities before the soil to be filled in time.
After a judicial intervention, the seats reserved for the KP assembly were redistributed among the political parties, in particular PTI, PML-N, JUI-F, ANP and PPP, creating a bottleneck because the elected candidates could not assume their offices because of the absence of a quorum.
The Direct Call of the ECP to the PHC aims to remove the procedural dam.
Meanwhile, the department of provincial law officially submitted a summary to the chief minister Ali Amin Gandapur, requesting an assembly session.
