ADIL KHAN BAZAI VS ELECTION COMMISSION OF PAKISTAN art. 219---Election Commission of Pakistan---Role---Independence of Election Commission is a fundamental safeguard in democratic system which maintains integrity of elections and ensures that will of people translates into their consent to be governed by elected representatives---This is what gives legitimacy to the government, because it is based on choice of people---This builds public confidence, protects rule of law and protects people from political manipulation---Elections are lifeline to democracy and Election Commission is guarantor of electoral integrity---Independence of Election Commission is fundamental to election process without which very foundation of democracy is undermined---Election Commission should not become subservient to political influences or political engineering rather should remain an impartial custodian of democracy as any leaning of Election Commission in favor of government would compromise legitimacy of political system---at the heart of protecting electoral integrity is the right to vote and exercise of such right by people---Supremacy of vote underscores the idea, that power and legitimacy in a democratic system derives its consent from the governed, which is why an independent Constitutional body is required to ensure that will of the people by way of election is actualized.
