ISLAMABAD: The PTI backed Sunni Ittehad Counsil (SIC) filed an application in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for stopping the election for the Senate Chairman and Deputy Chairman
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-backed SIC urged to postpone the Senate chairman and deputy chairman election scheduled for April 9, saying that the Electoral College was incomplete without the KP Senate election.
It is pertinent to mention that the provincial election commissioner on April 2 postponed the Senate elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa following the application of the opposition members.
The opposition members had moved the ECP as the dispute over the swearing-in of the KP Assembly’s opposition members elected to reserved seats remains unresolved.
Meanwhile, sources said that preparations were underway to summon the first session of the Senate on April 9 after the recent election of the house.
