Only a few days after his resignation from the Senate, the government is once again planning to nominate Rehman Malik for the Upper House seat. The final decision was to be taken in a late-night meeting of the PPP on Wednesday. Malik is expected to submit his nomination papers to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on June 19 or June 20. Malik’s resignation announcement on July 10 followed the earlier suspension of his Upper House membership by the Supreme Court after he failed to provide necessary documents proving he had given up his British citizenship. According to Malik, he had winded up his business in the UK in 2008 and withdrawn his British nationality on the directives of former premier Benazir Bhutto and her husband President Asif Ali Zardari.
