Developments impacting
the Quality of Democracy
January-April 2012 |
|
On March 17, 2012, while
addressing the joint
sitting of Parliament at
the beginning of the 5th
and final year of the
term of the 13th
National Assembly,
President Asif Ali
Zardari congratulated
the Parliament for
completing four
constitutional terms.
While this can be gauged
as a movement forward
for the system of
parliamentary democracy
in Pakistan, the
performance of state
institutions remains
somewhat mixed. The
passage of legislation
providing for the
appointment of caretaker
governments during
Election through a
bipartisan process,
timely conduct of the
Senate election, and
greater parliamentary
oversight of the
national security are
positive developments
for the strengthening of
parliamentary democracy. ................>>

Citizens Group calls for
Urgent Actions to
Prepare for Fair
Elections |
|
 |
|
April 25; The Citizens
Group on Electoral
Process (CGEP), convened
by PILDAT, has expressed
concern at the delay in
appointing a permanent
full time Chief Election
Commissioner. Instead of
initiating the
consultative process for
appointment of the Chief
Election Commissioner
before the expiry of the
term of the CEC on March
23, 2012, even after the
lapse of over a month
afterwards, it is not
known whether the Prime
Minister has formally
sent three names to the
Parliamentary Committee
in consultation of the
Leader of the
Opposition. Even though
an acting Chief Election
Commissioner is in
office, it is
inexplicable as to why
both the Government and
the Opposition are
delaying on developing a
consensus on the crucial
appointment of the Chief
Election Commissioner of
