Senate Polls

Re: Senate Polls

Nothing unexpected, as Senate elections are voted for by MPs, where PPP currently has a ‘majority’. However, fact remains that the electoral process is full of flaws, and the MPs who were responsible for voting in the senate elections themselves are the by-product of fake voter lists. Remember, these are the same MPs who selected Zardari as president.

Unless and until voter lists are cleaned up, and election commission is made wholly independent, we will continue to see the same sheet in our parliament and senate.

I dont think we will achieve both things before the elections:

1. As far as removal of fake votes is concerned EC is treading slowly in the matter, I dont know if they will meet their deadline of May

2. Who will (amongst the rulers) would want to have a fully independent EC?
