The KP Govt Demands (KP) management has asked that the Chief Election Commissioner and different Election Commission participants renounce. This demand comes from issues connected to elections and reserved seats. Barrister Dr Saif, spokesperson for the KP Government, has heavily attacked the conduct of the Election Commission in a strong statement.
Charges of Bias and Enmity KP Govt Demands
In his statement, Barrister Dr. Saif accused the Chief Election Commissioner of personal bias and animosity against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). He alleged he had personally campaigned against it as PTI due to personal grudges.
Role in Unconstitutional Actions KP Govt Demands
Dr Saif also claimed that the Chief Election Commissioner was a custodian for all unconstitutional actions committed by what he called a “conspiratorial group.” He criticized the Election Commission for not being impartial but favoring particular political factions over PTI.
Criticism about the Performance of EC KP Govt Demands
Dr. Saif bitterly criticized the ECP for disregarding unconstitutional acts by the PDM government after the regime change. He pointed out that the Chief Electoral Officer took undemocratic and unconstitutional steps under the PDM government, which profoundly troubled him.
Violation of Court Orders KP Govt Demands
The KP Government’s spokesperson blamed ECP for repeated violation of court orders and constitutional requirements without any shame. According to him, this was not simply an occasional behavior but rather a systematic one that undermined the rule of law and electoral dignity.
Long-Standing Caretaker Setup KP Govt Demands
Another corner. Dr. Saifaised said the ECPs neglected the long-standing caretaker setup in the KPK province. As per him, there was no check on this continuation, which is contrary to the constitution and unprecedented in the province’s history because the taker setup was established for the first time, which he termed unnecessary and problematic.
Deprivation of Election Symbol
One of the most significant allegations by Dr Saif was that the Election Commission deprived PTI through an unconstitutional measure of its election symbol: a bat. He claimed that PTI had to contest elections without its symbol, which he saw as part of a deliberate ploy to cripple the party’s chances in the election.
Rigging Allegations KP Govt Demands
Dr. Saif accused The Election Commission of rigging before the elections. He argued that different measures were taken against PTI before the electoral process started.
During Election Misconduct KP Govt Demands
He also charged them with continuing this rigging during the election itself. According to Dr. Saif, manipulating electoral procedures to favor some candidates and parties over PTI was part and parcel of this.
Post-Election Fraud KP Govt Demands
Finally, Dr. Saif added that election rigging was not confined only to the period stated earlier. Furthermore, he said that there was massive post-election fraud undermining chances for PTI as well as their argument about fair play and democracy is concerned.
SUMMARY
The call on the Chief Election Commissioner and other members of the Election Commission to step down by the KP government shows deep concerns about fairness and trustworthiness associated with Pakistan’s electoral process. Barrister Dr Saif’s allegations range from biased and unconstitutional actions to overt rigging, which could undermine democratic governance if correct.
