Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sardar Muhammad Raza on Tuesday extended Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) Secretary Babar Yaqoob's employment by 14 months.
Yaqoob's current contract with the electoral watchdog was set to expire on October 31. However, weeks before he was to be out of contract, the CEC has granted him a contract extension.
An official notification of Yaqoob's contract extension is expected to be issued today.
