ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has nominated Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari as its new member of the Judicial Commission of Pakistan, sources told ARY News.
According to sources, the notification of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s nomination will be issued soon.
Senior lawyer Farooq H Naek had resigned from the Judicial Commission due to personal reasons.
Bilawal Bhutto had previously withdrawn his nomination from the Judicial Commission in November 2024 in protest over what he described as the government’s failure to honour its commitment.
According to sources, Bilawal had said the government did not fulfil its promise of equal representation in the Judicial Commission.
Sources said the PPP’s Central Executive Committee would decide the party’s future course of action regarding the government. Bilawal is expected to convene a meeting of the Central Executive Committee upon his return to Pakistan, where important decisions will be taken.
It may be recalled that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari held an important meeting last month.
During the meeting, both leaders agreed to mobilise Parliament for the 27th Constitutional Amendment and decided to take JUI-F chief Maulana Fazal ur Rehman on board beforehand.
