ISLAMABAD: The federal government has called on the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to resign, a few days after the Senate chairman and deputy chairman elections were held.
Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mehmood was holding a press conference, flanked by Shibli Faraz and Fawad Chaudhry. In a hard-hitting press conference, the minister lashed out at the ECP, accusing it of failing to "act as a neutral umpire".
Mehmood said PM Imran Khan had always campaigned against the power of money to influence elections. He said the ECP was responsible for holding transparent polls and that it had failed to discharge its duties.
