ECP Declares MQM-Pakistan Chief’s Position Vacant Over Failure to Hold Intra-Party Elections

ISLAMABAD: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-Pakistan) has faced a fresh political setback as the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has declared the position of the party chief vacant over its failure to hold mandatory intra-party elections.

The ECP has issued an updated list of registered political parties, removing the name of MQM-Pakistan’s chief from the list.

According to details, the Election Commission had given MQM-Pakistan until October to conduct its intra-party elections. After the deadline expired without the elections being held, the commission issued a show-cause notice to the party.

Following the latest development, the party chief’s position has been listed as vacant in the ECP record.

The updated list also shows Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) without party chiefs.
