The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) calls for Chief Election Commissioner's resignation due to transparency concerns over budget utilization by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). The debate on the efficiency and transparency of the ECP continues amidst preparations for future elections.

The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has once again demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, accusing him of failing to ensure transparent elections. The PTI alleges that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) only utilized Rs16 billion of its allocated budget, raising concerns about the commission's efficiency and transparency.

The PTI's call for the Chief Election Commissioner's resignation stems from their belief that fair and transparent elections are essential for a functioning democracy. They argue that the ECP's alleged underutilization of funds raises questions about its ability to conduct free and fair elections in the future.

Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja has not yet responded to the PTI's demands for his resignation. The ECP, on the other hand, has defended its budget allocation and utilization, stating that it has followed all necessary procedures and guidelines.

The PTI's insistence on Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja's resignation highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the transparency and efficiency of the Election Commission of Pakistan. As the country prepares for future elections, it is crucial for all stakeholders to work together to ensure a fair and democratic electoral process.
