Pakistan’s trials “originate from Senate elections such as these”, Prime Minister Imran Khan stated this today, one day after the governing party PTI experienced a surprise overthrow by none other than that of the Opposition in the Senate elections 2021.
PM Imran Khan stated that money had been “influencing the Senate elections” for the past 30-40 years. “What type of a democracy is this where the country’s leadership is elected through the Senate vote?”
The country’s headship came from the Parliament, he said, moreover stated that he initiated campaigning for an open ballot in Senate elections to “end this menace” and that the governing party gave out a bill in that concern.
He further added: “When other parties — that previously supported open balloting — did not support our demand, we approached the Supreme Court,”
“What type of a democracy is this where people are spending money to become Senators? When we found out that 20 members of the PTI had sold their votes for money, I expelled them from the party.
“A video even surfaced in which Khyber Pakhtunkhwa MPAs were seen receiving bribes in exchange for Senate votes. The Supreme Court told the Election Commission of Pakistan [ECP] that it is the electoral body’s responsibility to hold transparent elections.
