ECP shuffles provincial election commissioners
ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Friday shuffled provincial election commissioners for three provinces.
According to the sources in the commission, heads of the election body were shuffled in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Sindh.
After the shuffle, K-P Election Commissioner SM Tariq Qadri has been transferred to Punjab. His vacant post has been filled by Sonu Khan Baloch, who till recently was heading the election commission’s Sindh office.
Mehboob Anwar has been brought in to fill the vacant Sindh Election Commissioner post.
After political parties had complained of Sindh Election Commissioner Sonu Khan Baloch’s ‘bias’ in compiling voter lists, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had transferred him to its central secretariat in Islamabad on December 17, 2012, as the new director-general budget.
The election authorities were looking for a suitable official as his successor within their own top bureaucracy who would be acceptable to all parties.
