Yaseen Azad is leading in the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) elections, according to television channels.
Yaseen Azad and Rasheed A Rizvi are in the run for the position of SCBA President. Polling took place today (Saturday) from 9 am to 5 pm. About 2240 members of SCBA casted their votes.
The People’s Lawyers Forum, the lawyer wing of the PPP and incumbent SCBA President Asma Jehangir are supporting Yasin Azad whereas Rizvi is a candidate of Hamid Khan-led Professional Group. Former SCBA presidents Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan, also a PPP leader, and Qazi Muhammad Anwar have announced their support for Rizvi.
Nine polling stations were established across the country. The SCBA members casted votes in Lahore, Islamabad/ Rawalpindi, Multan, Karachi, Bahawalpur, Peshawar, Abbottabad, Quetta and Sukhur.
Like last year, the Chief Justice backed candidate Rashid Rizvi has lost. It is vindication of the fact that Iftikhar Chaudhry has not delivered justice to the people and even lawyers' community is disappointed.
Chief Sahib and his acolytes are no longer seen as saviors of the system due their biased judgments. This is in fact victory for democracy. I hope Mr. Yaseen Azad will move forward from where Madam Asma Jehangir left and promptly check the overstepping of some judges, specially in LHC and SC.
The Chief Justice is involved in Bar politics. Interesting!

Mr. Rizvi the candidate of Mr. Hamid Khan & company yesterday had a crashed landing……………….?
one more thing has emerged in yesterday's election that young SC lawyers has shown the door to Mr. Rizvi candidate backed by PGL
