The Pakistani government and opposition parties have commenced discussions to appoint a new Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and members of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

The term of the current Chief Election Commissioner, Sikandar Sultan Raja, along with two ECP members, concluded on January 26.

According to sources from Pakistan’s ARY News, recent developments indicate a key government ally is backing the nomination of former Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa for the Chief Election Commissioner position. At the same time, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is considering various candidates, including former judges Nasir-ul-Mulk and Tassaduq Jillani. After conversations with President Asif Ali Zardari and other coalition partners, they aim to finalise their recommendation.

On the other hand, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has explored various candidates, including ex-bureaucrats and judges, in a recent meeting with its founding leaders. Among the discussed names was Orya Maqbool Jan, although PTI has stated that no definitive decisions have been made regarding candidates for the CEC position.

Chief Election Commissioner’s Appointment Process

The government and opposition are expected to propose three names each for the role of Chief Election Commissioner. As per the constitutional process and the stipulations of the 26th Amendment, Sikandar Sultan Raja will continue serving in his current capacity until his successor is officially appointed.

The selection procedure mandates that the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition agree on three candidates. These names will then be forwarded to a parliamentary committee tasked with making the final decision. If a consensus is not reached, each side will submit their three preferred candidates to the committee for consideration.

The parliamentary committee is responsible for selecting the new Chief Election Commissioner. This critical decision will shape the future of electoral oversight and governance in Pakistan, ensuring that the nation’s electoral processes remain transparent and fair.
