“Right now, in violation of the MCC, the ruling party here is engaged in a “Global Investment Summit” which has drastically disturbed the level playing ground in the electoral process in favour of the ruling party,” he pointed out while requesting the Commission to initiate proceedings against the ruling political party urgently to instill confidence of the electorate in the integrity of the election process.
