The Election Commission (EC) has recently delimited the country's constituency map with a view to maintaining a fair distribution of population in each of 300 constituencies for ensuring proper representation of voters.
During the meeting, the President expressed his satisfaction over the EC's role in preparing the new constituency maps.

"An independent EC is a must to play significant role in institutionalising country's democracy," the President said.
Huda apprised the President about different features of the new constituency maps and said everyone including politicians, journalists, academics and researchers would also be benefited by the information of the new maps.
