Khursheed Shah says to consult PTI in CEC’s appointment

ISLAMABAD: Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Khurshid Shah has said that if there was any delay in appointment of Chief Election Commissioner, then the government would solely be responsible for that.

In a statement, Shah said that he was going abroad on Nov 9 for a 15-day visit and had already informed Ishaq Dar about it.

“Despite this, the prime minister has not yet made any contact with him for consultation, which might further delay the CEC’s appointment. If it happens, then the government will solely be responsible for the delay,” he added.

He said that as Leader of the Opposition he would also consult Pakistan Tehree-e-Insaf (PTI) over CEC’s appointment.

He sought PTI’s support for cutting Parliament’s tenure to four year from the existing five years.

Khurshid Shah said that there should be talks with PTI and if it came to negotiation’s table all its demands including constitution of a judicial commission to audit the last general election should be discussed.
