Following the recent general elections in Pakistan, the trend of independent candidates joining political parties continues.
In a recent development, several independent candidates have announced their affiliation with the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP). Notable among them are Owais Darishek from PP-296, Zahid Ismail from PP-270, and Ghazanfar Abbas from PP-91.
To streamline the process of independent candidates joining political parties, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has established a facilitation center.
Independent candidates are required to submit a letter of intent along with an affidavit affirming their allegiance to the respective political party to the Election Commission for formal documentation.
