ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has removed the name of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) chief from its updated list of registered political parties over the party’s failure to conduct intra-party elections within the prescribed deadline.
The ECP had given MQM-P until October to hold its intra-party elections.
Following the expiry of the deadline, the commission issued a show-cause notice to the party for failing to meet the requirement.
The name of the MQM-P chief was subsequently omitted from the ECP’s updated list of registered political parties.
Former federal law minister Farogh Naseem has submitted the party’s response to the Election Commission following the issuance of the show-cause notice.
