An assertion by the Press Information Department said that the president affirmed Prime Minister Imran Khan’s proposition to send a reference to the summit court under Article 186 of the Constitution.
“The president has looked for the assessment of the summit court on the head’s proposition to hold the races utilizing open voting form/display of support,” the assertion said. In the reference, the president has looked for the Supreme Court’s assessment on changing Section 122(6) of the Election Act, 2017 without correcting the Constitution, it added.
On December 15, the government chose to hold Senate races in February and conjure the warning ward of the SC on open deciding in favor of the surveys.
The races are to be held for 52 seats of the upper house in light of the fact that the same number of individuals from the 104-part Senate will resign on March 11.
