In addition to the caretaker government issue, he said, the agenda included discussions on the demarcation of the constituencies and substantial consensus was also achieved on this matter.
Ali Riaz further mentioned that there is agreement on implementing both immediate and long-term measures for constituency’s demarcation.
As an immediate step, a specialized committee comprising experts will be formed in coordination with the Election Commission for the upcoming 13th National Parliament elections, he said, adding that if such a committee already exists, necessary adjustments will be made, and constituency boundaries will be finalized in consultation with the restructured body.
Regarding the long-term measures, Ali Riaz said that after every census or not more than 10 years, after the word “and” mentioned at the end of clause 1 (Ga) of Article 119 of the constitution, the word “and” will be added to the end of the word “and” to determine the boundaries of the parliamentary constituencies.
The composition and scope of the committee will be determined by adding 8(3) of the relevant National Parliament Demarcation Act 2021, which was amended in 2025.
