Meanwhile, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has sought enhanced powers to oversee and regulate the internal functioning of political parties, proposing a series of amendments to the Election Act, 2017.

According to details, the electoral watchdog has submitted its recommendations to the federal government and parliament, seeking authority to monitor intra-party elections and enforce compliance with legal provisions.

Under the proposed amendments, the ECP would appoint a monitoring team for each political party’s intra-party elections, with the recognition of these elections contingent upon the team’s report.
