ISLAMABAD: Out of 307 parties registered with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), just 47 have filed their annual assets details.
The two largest parties, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), have also yet to submit their annual financial statements to the ECP, revealed the official sources in the Commission.
On August 28, the ECP issued a reminder to political parties that the last date for filing accounts is August 29, 2015, warning them that the “parties which have not submitted its statement of accounts will not be eligible to obtain an election symbol for contesting elections for parliament and provincial assemblies.”
Meanwhile, the PTI has asked the ECP to give it 15 more days to file its statement. PTI finance manager Muhammad Arshad made the request for the extension.
