Naming and counter-naming based on all the decisions a judge makes will never make everyone agree to a name – more so with the names out in the public domain to be discussed and PTI having it’s own agenda…. the whole exercise smacks of a joke – seriously doubt if they can have a name agreeable to all by 05th Dec.

@ishrat salim: That way the government will always get its own nominee elected, just like it does for the post of the president, education and the whole purpose of choosing the CEC in a bipartisan way would be defeated because the opposition will never agree to such a choice. education Besides, the post of the CEC is not a constitutional education office, it’s an administrative office. Parliamentarians can’t be asked to vote on appointing a civil servant.
