Dignified and unceremonious exits of election commissioners National March 16, 2021 LAHORE: While being at the helm of affairs, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has demanded that the Election Commission should be disbanded over its failure to conduct the recent Senate elections in a transparent manner. The PTI has not come up with a demand such as this for the first time. After the 2013 ballot exercise, which had seen Nawaz Sharif coming into power for the third time, the loudest voice in the opposition, Imran Khan, had repeatedly accused Nawaz of rigging the polls. In August 2015, he had announced to hold a sit-in in front of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) offices in Islamabad if its members did not tender their resignations by October 4 of the same year. “The ECP officials have no legal or moral standing left and they should immediately resign,” Imran had publicly asserted.
