ECP Reserves Verdict in Disqualification Case Against Senator Saifullah Abro
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has reserved a disqualification petition submitted against PTI Senator Saifullah Abro.A three-member bench, presided over by Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, heard the matter.The counsel for Saifullah Abro contended that his client is an engineer with more than two decades of experience. He obtained his engineering degree in 1991 and served in government positions until 2007.
The counsel emphasized Abro’s substantial tax contributions from 2007 to 2021 and his involvement in projects such as the Multan Metro Bus. He also stated that the Higher Education Commission (HEC) has verified his qualifications.The counsel for Shahadat Awan, the complainant, argued that constructing bridges or roads as a contractor does not qualify an individual as a technocrat. Additionally, he asserted that Abro had not achieved any significant national or international accomplishments in his profession.
In response to a question from the Sindh member of the bench regarding the definition of success in engineering, the complainant proposed that creating an invention could serve as a metric for success.The ECP reserved its verdict in the case after the proceedings were concluded.
