ECP rejects ‘propaganda’ against ECE, other members

Author: Agencies

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), while strongly rejecting propaganda by Umer Ayub Khan, on Monday said that ECP, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and other members of ECP have been continuously misrepresenting. In this connection, a wrong statement was given on a TV channel in which an allegation was levelled that total expenditure on general elections 2024 stood at Rs14.5 billion but the ECP demanded more expenditures to the then government to get an opportunity for postponing the elections, said a statement . In fact, the total expenditure on general elections 2018 was over Rs28 billion. In light of expenditure on general elections 2018 and other factors like inflation, increase in number of voters, polling stations, polling staff and printing of additional ballot papers, the ECP estimated the expenditure for the general elections 2024, the statement said.
