ISLAMABAD: Three provincial members of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) were agreed to resign.

Sources said that these ECP members Justice (R) Riaz Kayani from Punjab, Justice (R) Roshan Ali Essani for Sindh and Justice (retd) Shahzad Akbar for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa would submit their resignations to the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sardar Muhammad Raza on Monday.

The election commissioners of the three provinces seemed to have succumbed to the pressure mounted first by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and intensified further by the added force from the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).

According to sources, one of the three provincial ECP members who have shown readiness to quit, has already drafted his resignation.
