The special parliamentary committee responsible for appointing Pakistan’s next Chief Justice has approved the nomination of Justice Yahya Afridi with a two-thirds majority, forwarding his name to the prime minister for final approval.
The decision came after a meeting lasting over an hour and a half, attended by the committee members on Tuesday.
The Speaker of the National Assembly, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, had also hosted a dinner for the members of the committee.
The parliamentary committee was formed to select the country’s top judicial position, but its proceedings were initially marred by the absence of key members.
Earlier, representatives from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Sunni Ittehad Council confirmed their decision to boycott the committee, citing dissatisfaction with the process. This move delayed the selection of the next Chief Justice.
The decision not to participate was conveyed by PTI's Barrister Gohar Ali Khan following a meeting with parliamentary representatives in the speaker’s chamber. "We have made our decision. We will not be part of this committee's meetings," Khan confirmed after discussions. The committee, led by Speaker Sadiq, had previously tried to engage PTI members, hoping to involve them in the critical judicial selection process.
