ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has issued an order for the immediate removal of Ahad Cheema from the post of advisor in the federal cabinet.
The ECP directed the cabinet division to take prompt action in removing Cheema from office, citing concerns about his potential influence on elections due to his previous service in the cabinet under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Ahad Cheema, a former bureaucrat in Punjab during Shehbaz Sharif’s tenure as chief minister, faced corruption allegations in two separate cases by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) related to the Ashiana-i-Iqbal Housing Scheme and assets beyond means. He was arrested in 2018 but acquitted in 2023.
The ECP will also consider petitions against other cabinet members, including Fawad Hassan Fawad, on December 21. Another petition has been filed against Tauqeer Shah, another member of the cabinet.
