ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday said due to time constraints, the Senate election today (Wednesday) will be conducted “as per past practice” prescribed in the Constitution and law.
The commission decided this in a meeting presided over by Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja. ECP members Justice (retd) Altaf Ibrahim Qureshi, Justice (retd) Irshad Qasir, Shah Muhammad Jatoi and Nisar Ahmed Durrani attended the meeting.
The decision came a day after the Supreme Court gave its opinion on a presidential reference requesting its perspective on whether or not open balloting could be held in today’s election. The court ruled that the Senate elections will be held via secret ballot according to Article 226 of the Constitution. It also suggested the ECP make use of technology to prevent corrupt practices.
