  "account": "Parliamentary Affairs Minister Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry has announced that the ruling coalition has submitted the names of their nominees for the proposed parliamentary committee on electoral reforms. The committee is set to consist of 30 members, with representation proportionate to the parties' strength in the National Assembly and Senate. The PPP is allocated seven seats, while the PML-N is expected to have 10 seats, though the PML-N may need to give up some members to accommodate smaller parties. However, both the PTI and Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) have yet to submit their nominees. The PTI has raised concerns about the composition of the committee, while Dr Chaudhry hopes that the PTI will announce its decision next week. If the opposition parties decide to boycott the committee, the ruling coalition parties will make the final decision. The government has invited all parliamentary parties, including the opposition, to join the proposed committee on electoral reforms.",
