Level Playing Field Controversy: ECP Debunks PTI’s Accusations
Meanwhile, in response to allegations raised by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) regarding a lack of a level playing field in the upcoming general elections scheduled for February 8, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has firmly rejected the claims. The electoral body, in a reply submitted to the Supreme Court, not only dismissed the PTI’s allegations but also imposed a fine on the party.
The response was prompted by a December 22 directive from the Supreme Court, urging the ECP to promptly address PTI’s grievances and ensure a smooth, transparent, and fair electoral process. The PTI had contended that the electoral body violated Supreme Court directives aimed at maintaining a level playing field during the polls.
The ECP’s reply highlighted a meeting with PTI leaders, held in compliance with the Supreme Court’s directives, assuring the former ruling party of a fair and unbiased electoral environment.
