Three retired deputy election commissioners have applied for the post of Chairman of the Election Commission, informed sources said yesterday.
The Constitutional Council which met last month decided to appoint new members to all independent commissions, including the election commission, as per the provisions of the 21st amendment to the constitution.
Accordingly, applications were called in through advertisements published in national newspapers. Informed sources said applications have been received from various persons for the posts.
Daily Mirror also learns that constitutional council has decided to replace all existing members of election Commissions.
