The Awami National Party (ANP), Balochistan Awami Party (BAP), National Party, and Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) will each be allocated one seat. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar will make the final decision on committee members following consultations with various parties. PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari had previously urged Leader of the Opposition Mahmood Khan Achakzai to use the authority given by PTI Imran Khan to ensure opposition lawmakers resume participation in key committees, including electoral reforms. A PPP delegation met with Achakzai in the National Assembly to invite him to join the parliamentary committee on electoral reforms.",
