Omar Hamid Khan Reappointed as ECP Secretary

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has announced the reappointment of Omar Hamid Khan as its secretary for a two-year term. Khan, a retired BS-22 officer of the Secretariat Group, has been reinstated in the public interest, in accordance with the Election Commission (Officers and Servants) Rules, 1989.

The decision to reappoint Khan comes after the resignation of the incumbent secretary, Asif Hussain, who stepped down earlier this year due to health issues. Hussain, who took over the role in January, cited poor health conditions as the reason for his resignation.

Omar Hamid Khan had previously resigned from the position in January due to health reasons, leading to Asif Hussain assuming the role temporarily. With Khan's reappointment, the ECP aims to ensure continuity and stability in its leadership during this crucial period.

The reappointment of Omar Hamid Khan as the Secretary of the Election Commission of Pakistan underscores the importance of experienced leadership in ensuring the smooth functioning of electoral processes. With Khan's wealth of experience and expertise, the ECP is poised to navigate upcoming challenges effectively.
