LAHORE: In a recent development, Supreme Court Advocate Shah Khawar has been appointed as Election Commissioner for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
His appointment comes following the end of three-month tenure of the former Election Commissioner, Mahmood Iqbal Khakwani, whose term expired on October 5.
Khakwani was initially appointed to oversee the election for PCB Chairman and some other slots and with the end to his tenure, Shah Khawar has now come forward for this significant role. A notification was also issued by the Inter-Provincial Liaison Ministry.
“Shah Khawar Board of Governors will hold elections on completion. The deadline for the election of the chairman is 4 February 2024,” said the statement.
