ISLAMABAD: The Speaker of the National Assembly has formally requested Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Opposition Leader Raja Riaz to submit names for the newly proposed Election Reform Committee. This initiative aims to address pressing electoral issues ahead of the upcoming elections.

The Speaker emphasized the importance of bipartisan cooperation in ensuring that the electoral process is transparent and fair. In a statement, he noted, “The formation of this committee is crucial for restoring public confidence in our electoral system, and I urge both leaders to nominate their representatives promptly.”
