ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Saturday issued a show-cause notice to Prime Minister Shehbaz Shareef for failing to conduct intra-party elections of PML-N.
The last date to conduct the intra-party elections of the PML-N was March 22. However, the ECP had extended the date on PML-N’s request to May 14, but the party could not submit the certificate of elections to the ECP within the extended time.
The ECP warned the party president that the party can be disqualified for not conducting intra-party elections.
According to the notice, not conducting timely intra-party elections is a violation of the law as well as the party’s manifesto.
It is pertinent to mention that all the registered political parties were ordered to conduct intra-party elections by the ECP.
