ECP gives relief to Fawad Hassan Fawad

 ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday rejected the petition seeking removal of Fawad Hassan Fawad as caretaker federal minister.

The ECP announced its reserved verdict on the petition of Advocate Syed Azizuddin Kakakhel.

The petitioner submitted that the minister has a political affiliation and can influence the outcome of general elections 2024.

The ECP questioned how he can influence the February 8 elections as Fawad Hassan Fawad is a minister for privatisation. 

ECP stated that the petition lacks merit and appears to be driven by personal vendetta.
