Pakistan
ECP clarified that no funds had been released for the construction of the house
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday accused Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry of making baseless and misleading propaganda against the ECP chief.
The ECP spokesperson released a statement denying Mr Chaudhry's claims that money was being spent on renovating the ECP chief's house.
According to the spokesperson, the chief election commissioner was currently residing in a flat, and no money was spent on its renovation.
The spokesperson further revealed that a plot had been allotted in Islamabad's Minister colony for the construction of the ECP chief's house during the PTI government's tenure.
However, the ECP spokesperson clarified that no funds had been released for the construction of the house, and the project had been canceled, even though it had already been approved.
The spokesperson added that even if the project were to start now, it would not be possible to complete it during the incumbent ECP chief's tenure.
Fawad Chaudhry had earlier demanded the resignation of the ECP chief, alleging that money was being spent on renovating his house. However, the ECP's statement categorically denied these claims, stating that the chief election commissioner was currently residing in a flat, and no funds had been spent on its renovation.
