EC opposes 9 recommendations of Reform Commission

The election commission has sent a letter to the National Consensus Commission disagreeing with nine recommendations of the electoral system reform commission.

This includes the issue of reforming the parliamentary constituency delimitation law and handing over the National Identity Card (NID).

The EC believes that if these recommendations are implemented, their independence as a constitutional body will be undermined.

The letter was sent to the National Consensus Commission vice-president Professor Ali Riaz Monday (March 17), EC senior secretary Akhter Ahmed said.

Earlier, the commission was formed to create a national consensus based on the recommendations of the five reform commissions formed by the government and the opinions of political parties. The chairman of this commission is the chief adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus.
