ISLAMABAD— Pakistan’s legislative journey reaches a critical point today as the new draft of the 27th Constitutional Amendment is set to be presented to the Senate for approval. The Senate session is scheduled to commence shortly, attracting intense national scrutiny due to the significance of the proposed changes.
The amendment, pushed forward by the ruling coalition, was successfully passed yesterday in the National Assembly with a resounding two-thirds majority. The government secured the support of 234 members, exceeding the required threshold of 224. However, the vote was not unanimous, as Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) notably cast its vote against the amendment.
The anticipated Senate approval will pave the way for the enforcement of these constitutional changes, which are expected to have a profound impact on Pakistan’s legal and political architecture.
In alignment with this legislative push, an important meeting of the Federal Cabinet has also been called for this afternoon. The Cabinet is tasked with approving necessary legal and regulatory changes stemming from the constitutional amendments. This dual action in both houses and the executive branch signifies the commencement of a new phase of constitutional reforms in the country.
