The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is set to hear a crucial application on December 19, focusing on the removal of caretaker ministers for ensuring transparent elections.
The notice issued by the electoral watchdog encompasses the summons directed to Caretaker Prime Minister Anwarul Haq Kakar, aiming to address concerns regarding the forthcoming general elections’ integrity.
This application is rooted in the request to remove Fawad Hasan Fawad and Ahad Cheema from their roles within the caretaker government. The petitioner has cited their prior involvement in the previous government, expressing apprehensions that their current positions might exert undue influence on the impending electoral process.
The core contention of the petition lies in the belief that the continued presence of these individuals in the caretaker government might compromise the transparency of the upcoming elections.
The petitioner strongly contends that the inclusion of Fawad Hasan Fawad and Mushir Ahad Cheema in pivotal roles could potentially impact the fairness and impartiality of the electoral proceedings.
This hearing is a critical juncture in ensuring an unbiased and transparent electoral process, highlighting the Commission’s role in addressing concerns related to impartiality and fairness in the electoral landscape. The upcoming hearing is anticipated to address the significant implications of these individuals' roles in the caretaker setup and their potential influence on the electoral process.
