(NATIONAL): (ECP suspends Punjab CM’s free electricity scheme till by-elections held)

July 7, 2022

ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday suspended the Punjab Chief Minister Hamza Shehbaz’s Roshan Gharana Programme- which aimed to provide free electricity to poor households- till July 17 when by-elections will be held on 20 seats of Punjab Assembly.

Earlier on Monday, Hamza Shehbaz had announced free electricity for households consuming up to 100 units per month from July under “Punjab Chief Minister Roshan Gharana Programme”.

About nine million poor families- which constitute about half of the population of the Punjab province- had to benefit from this programme. The announcement was made, despite a ban imposed by the ECP on initiating any development projects until the by-polls were out of the way.

The ECP had subsequently issued a notice to the Punjab Chief Minister, seeking his reply for his alleged violation of the electoral code of conduct. A three-member bench of the ECP, headed by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikander Sultan Raja, heard the matter on Thursday. Advocate Khalid Ishaq appeared for Hamza Shehbaz.
