Former Justice Wajihuddin Ahmad, who served as honorary chairman and member of the non-partisan election-process monitoring body, Citizens Group on Electoral Process (CGEP) on Tuesday resigned from the Group following his nomination as Presidential candidate by the lawyers' movement.
The Citizens Group on Electoral Process (CGEP) is a non-partisan group facilitated by Pakistan Institute of Legislative Development and Transparency (Pildat) to indigenously monitor the process leading up to elections in Pakistan.
The Group includes eminent Pakistanis from media, legal profession, civil society and former members of the superior judiciary and armed forces, but with no present affiliation with any political party. Wajih was elected chairman of the group in December 2006 when CGEP held its first meeting.
