LAHORE:


The ongoing consultation over the appointment of the chief election commissioner is of great importance to all political parties, PPP Punjab president Manzoor Ahmad Wattoo said on Saturday.


“The PPP government had appointed an independent election commissioner after consulting all parties. Unfortunately, the role of the members of the Election Commission became controversial and aspersions were cast on the whole electoral process,” he said.

“Opposition leader Syed Khurshid Shah is engaged in consultation with other parties, hoping that this time a comparatively young, healthy and assertive chief election commissioner can be appointed. We do not want anyone to raise a finger on the authenticity and credibility of the elections,” Wattoo said.
