Supreme Court Bar Association Elections Set for October 29th: Candidates Gear Up for Final Push

The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) is abuzz with anticipation as it prepares for its upcoming elections on October 29th. With just one day remaining for campaigning, the excitement among members is palpable. The final list of candidates was issued on October 19th, revealing a competitive race for the presidency.

This year, the contest features two candidates from Balochistan: Mian Muhammad Rauf Atta from the Asma Jahangir group and Munir Ahmed Khan Kakkar from the Professional group. The Asma Jahangir group, which emerged victorious in last year’s elections, is aiming to retain its influence, while the Professional group seeks to claim the presidency.

Both candidates have been actively campaigning, holding events and rallies to rally support ahead of the polls. As the deadline for campaigning approaches, the atmosphere is charged with debates, discussions, and enthusiastic outreach to voters.

The outcome of the elections remains uncertain, and members are keenly awaiting the results. As the SCBA gears up for this pivotal event, the legal community is poised to witness a crucial moment in its leadership and direction.
