Last week in November, the apex court of Pakistan gave permission to General Qamar Bajwa to continue his tenure for another six months and further asked the government to confirm the term, tenure of the chief of the army and the condition of his service through legislation in a given span of time. On the other hand, the ruling party and the opposition have failed to reach a consensus on the appointments of ECP.  Prime Minister Imran Khan and the opposition party leader Shehbaz have given their recommendations. However, there is no mutual agreement between the parties as of now. The sources have revealed that decisions made by the party leaders will be on similar lines as that of Nawaz Sharif. They said, “The style of politics of these main parliamentarians of the PML-N on their return will reflect the mood of the elder Sharif,".
