ISLAMABAD: Time is fast running out, but the Election Commission is still reluctant to take any decision on certain seats, which could change the balance of power in the Parliament and herald a major change in the political landscape of the country.
The Election Commission is badly stuck in the ongoing deadlock between the political leadership and the judiciary, it is under increasing pressure from both the Parliament and the Supreme Court for an early resolution of the issue of reserved seats; In this regard, the Election Commission is also facing pressure from both the state institutions on the interpretation of the law.
On the other hand, after the clear decision of the Supreme Court on the specific seats and the letters of the Speaker of the National Assembly, all eyes are waiting for the decision of the Election Commission to end the impasse.
According to the report, where many questions are being raised due to the continuous silence of the Election Commission, observers want to know how much more time the Election Commission will take to make a decision. When contacted, Professor Tahir Naseem Malik said that the Election Commission is proving that it is not independent.
It is a subservient institution of the government, with the support of the government and powerful circles, it seems that the Election Commission is not in the mood to do any proper work, that the government’s position regarding specific seats has been adopted at the cost of its reputation. On the 26th Amendment, he said that this important amendment was made by an incomplete Parliament.
