THE ECP resumes to wade more serious and more profound into the discussion. It had endowed paramount comfort to three PML-N candidates whose election successes had been oppugned by the PTI’s candidates before an election judiciary, through its latest decision,
In a performance of no-confidence in the Islamabad High Court’s Justice Tariq Mehmood Jehangiri, who had been attending the court cases, the ECP had on Monday repositioned the entreaties to a new judiciary led by a retired judge physically hired by the Commission days before.
Then, on Tuesday, IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq, while attending a complaint against the ECP judgment, called the new judiciary to terminate proceedings till the next listening case. At the same time, the IHC chief justice offered the ECP facility to build an affordable reason for transferring the entreaties from the court of a serving jurist who had been selected for the task.
It may be considered that the three PML-N legislators who ‘won’ the seats that have been questioned had been frequently requested to boost their Form 45 by the judiciary so that these could be affirmed against Form 45 allocated to other competing candidates. They yielded to do so. However, the supplicants, independent viewers and even other failing candidates had lobbed the authenticity of their ‘victory’ into suspicion by allocating to apparent illegal in election reports.
That it bestowed these three PML-N lawmakers a lifeline in these situations lifts extreme inquiries about the ECP’s commitment to righteousness and justice. This is an institution in which, it must be acclaimed, the Commission is determined to lack. The ECP must show hurdles in behaving in ways that notch allegations of electoral betrayal against it. It must permit all conflicts to be solved through the founded process. Its activities and inability have already degraded the election. It must at least let the judiciary function unassisted and, where needed, correct its errors.
