Overview
- The PPP publicly urged opposition parties to end their boycott and rejoin parliamentary committees so electoral reform drafting can resume after roughly two and a half years without comprehensive legislation.
- The party formally proposed a parliamentary electoral‑reforms committee that would let parties agree among themselves on seat distribution rather than use strict proportional counts.
- Sources say the PPP has offered the PTI the committee chair as part of its outreach to opposition parties to secure buy‑in for an inclusive process.
- The federal government has begun inviting party names for the panel and the final composition and leadership now depend on consultations between the government and opposition.
- The PPP also called for constitutional consultations between the prime minister and the Leader of the Opposition on appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and two ECP members, a step the party says is key to restoring public confidence in the election body.
