26th Constitutional Amendment Passed from Senate of Pakistan with 65 Votes

26th Constitutional Amendment Approved by Senate of Pakistan with Overwhelming Support

In a significant development for Pakistan’s legislative history, the Senate has officially passed the 26th Constitutional Amendment with an impressive 65 votes in favor. The amendment, which has been under debate for some time, marks a critical step forward in ensuring greater political, social, and economic reforms.

The 26th Amendment, which garnered wide support across party lines, addresses key issues aimed at improving governance and representation. With 104 members of the Senate, the amendment required at least a two-thirds majority, which it comfortably achieved. Government officials and political leaders hailed the passage of the amendment as a win for democracy, emphasizing that it would contribute to enhancing the representation of previously underserved regions and communities.

Legal experts have also pointed out that the amendment will have far-reaching implications for the country's political landscape. Opposition parties, while largely supportive, have called for more dialogue and vigilance in the implementation of the changes to ensure that the goals of the amendment are fully realized. The bill now moves to the National Assembly for final approval.
