He said all political parties want free and fair elections. There is no significant dispute in this regard. There is, however, some controversy surrounding one particular party.

“I do not wish to comment on this at this time. When election time comes, we will see and you will see. Our goal is to include everyone in the electoral process, but for now I m “Refrain from making any comments on this matter,” he added.

Nasir said that after meeting the other commissioners, he would serve on the electoral reform commission.

“After these discussions, I will identify the priorities: what needs to be done first and how quickly,” he added.
