ISLAMABAD: The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) announced on Monday that it has expelled Senator Ahmad Khan from the party for supporting the 27th Constitutional Amendment Bill in the Senate. The party stated that Senator Ahmad Khan’s vote in favor of the amendment, which was passed despite strong opposition protests, amounted to a violation of party policy.
In its official statement, the JUI-F directed Senator Ahmad Khan to immediately resign from his Senate seat. The party warned that if he failed to do so, it would approach the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to seek his disqualification.
The decision to expel the senator was made on the recommendation of party leaders Senator Maulana Attaur Rehman and Senator Maulana Abdul Wasey.
Senator Ahmad Khan, a representative from Balochistan, had taken oath as a member of the Senate on April 9, 2024. The 27th Constitutional Amendment Bill was approved after the government managed to secure the required 64 votes in the Upper House. PTI Senator Saifullah Abro also voted in favor of the bill before resigning from his position.
