LAHORE: (HRNW) Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Thursday expressed reservations over the government’s plan to hold early Senate elections.
While addressing a press conference at Jati Umrah in Lahore, Maryam Nawaz said that Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) will announce strategy over Senate polls, adding that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) must announce the date for the upcoming Senate elections, not the present government or premier.
“In what capacity did you announce the decision to hold Senate elections one month earlier? “Did you not consult the Constitution of Pakistan? It’s the duty of ECP to announce date for upper house elections, not the prime minister,” she added.
Maryam Nawaz said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government could not bulldoze the current voting method in Senate elections merely through a presidential ordinance.
