ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed dampened the opposition’s hopes on Monday after he observed that no one can stop the government from promulgating the ordinance regarding open balloting in the Senate elections.
This was observed by the Supreme Court while hearing the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam’s petition filed against the Election Amendment Ordinance that seeks to conduct the forthcoming Senate elections through open voting.
On Saturday, President Dr Arif Alvi signed off the ordinance as the government still awaited the SC’s opinion on whether open balloting could take place without a constitutional amendment.
