Former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Issack Hassan has been named as part of a 13-member Commonwealth Observer Group (COG) that will monitor elections in Pakistan.

The Commonwealth team, led by former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, will be deployed to Pakistan to observe the general elections scheduled for February 8, 2024.

Commonwealth Secretary-General Rt Patricia Scotland KC expressed confidence that the team would provide an independent and comprehensive assessment of the electoral process.

“I applaud Pakistan’s commitment to transparency and accountability. The Commonwealth is pleased to support Pakistan’s democratic journey. We look forward to peaceful and fair elections,” Patricia said.

She said the team had been selected at the request of the Election Commission of Pakistan through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

The team is already in Islamabad and will remain there until the end of the electoral process.

“The observer team will assess the overall conduct of the process and, where appropriate, make recommendations for further strengthening of the electoral system. It is hoped that these recommendations will be useful to the people and government of Pakistan in strengthening their electoral processes”.
