Will Senate elections be open or by secret ballot? The Supreme Court will give its opinion today

Islam Abad (94 news) Senate election will be open or through secret voting? The Supreme Court will pronounce the reserved opinion on the presidential reference today. The opinion of the Supreme Court will be heard in open court, notices have been issued to the parties.

It should be noted that the Supreme Court had reserved its opinion on Thursday after the arguments of the parties were completed on the presidential reference regarding holding the Senate elections through open ballot.

During the hearing, lawyer Pakistan Bar Counsel Mansoor Usman Awan said in his arguments that if the Senate election is conducted by open ballot, it will affect all the elections. The constitution does not say that any election should be conducted by secret ballot. In fact, the election itself means secret ballot.

The Chief Justice of Pakistan remarked that the question before the court is only the article 226 It is a matter of implementation, what is the reason that the election process is not being amended to eliminate corruption? Resolutions are passed in Parliament to make the election process transparent.

Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed said that the amendment bill related to open ballot is present in the parliament, so what was the problem in the amendment? The era of PPP and Muslim League-N has passed, why did they not amend it? During the People's Party era, there was also an occasion related to the Senate election.

He further said that the political parties are accepting the corrupt practice in the Senate election, you have also seen the videos, do you want to do the same again, all are also accepting the corrupt practice but no one is taking steps to eliminate it, every party wants a transparent election but no one is doing it.
