Government claims support to pass constitutional amendment as sessions resume

dawn.com — October 19, 2024, 03:01 PM UTC

Summary: The federal government claims it has enough lawmakers to pass the 26th constitutional amendment, which includes judicial reforms. The National Assembly and Senate sessions are set to resume after multiple delays, with the government seeking consensus among political parties.

PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari announced full agreement with JUI-F on the draft bill, while Balochistan National Party-Mengal leader Akhtar Mengal stated his party will not support the amendments until the return of abducted senators' sons.

PTI leaders are continuing talks with JUI-F amid allegations of intimidation against opposition lawmakers. The proposed amendments aim to limit the Supreme Court's powers and adjust the chief justice's term, but previous attempts to pass them have failed due to lack of consensus.
