The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) reserved its decision in the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) foreign funding case on Tuesday.
Earlier, the petitioner, Akbar S. Babar, told the ECP bench that this was the first time in the country’s history that any political party had disclosed the amount of money it had received from abroad. “In fact, each and every party should be answerable to the commission,” he emphasized.
In his remarks, the chief election commissioner (CEC) stated that now that the PTI’s case had concluded, it was the ECP’s desire that the cases of other parties conclude as well. “We need to strengthen the country’s democratic system by restoring voter trust in democracy,” he said.
