The verdict on Finance Minister Ishaq Dar’s disqualification from his Senate membership is just around the corner.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) will announce the decision on Jan 9.
The electoral watchdog has issued a notice to the finance minister, summoning him in person or through a counsel on Jan 9.
The electoral body had reserved the decision in the case on September 26, 2022.
On September 27, Advocate Azhar Siddique, who had earlier filed a plea with the ECP for Dar’s disqualification, had withdrawn it, saying he would approach a higher forum to pursue the case.
