\"\"ISLAMABAD: The Election Commissioner of Pakistan, Sikander Sultan Raja has acknowledged the invaluable contributions of the women of Pakistan in strengthening democracy.<\/h5>\n
On this important National Working Women\u2019s Day, in his message, the CEC said,”\u00a0 Lasting peace and political stability, essential for national prosperity, are only achievable when women\u2014who constitute nearly 50% of the population\u2014participate equally in electoral processes.”<\/h5>\n
Text of the message; The Election Commission of Pakistan remains committed in its constitutional mandate to conducting elections honestly, justly, and fairly. In recent years, we have made significant progress in addressing the challenges women face as voters and candidates.<\/h5>\n
Through focused efforts, the gender gap in electoral rolls has been reduced from over 11.7 percent in 2018 to 7.49 percent, a remarkable achievement within five years. Encouragingly, during this period, more women than men were added to the electoral rolls. Our goal is to eliminate this gap entirely in the coming elections.<\/h5>\n
