Chief Election Commissioner seeks caretaker CM’s suggestions on officials’ reshuffle

ISLAMABAD: Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja, on Thursday, asked Sindh’s caretaker Chief Minister Justice (r) Maqbool Baqar to dispatch proposals to the election commission with regard to transfer of officers within one week.

In a letter to Sindh’s CM, Raja wrote that the election commission had directed provincial governments for transfer of administrative officers, but Sindh government has yet to submit suggestions in this regard.

“The election commission had directed for posting of impartial officers for monitoring the election,” the letter read, adding that the “caretaker government of Sindh didn’t send any suggestions, this lack of preparations of the government is regretful.”

He asked the caretaker CM to send proposals to the election commission with regard to transfer of officers in the province within a week’s time.
