The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Saturday said it could prevent those inter
im ministers from performing their duties who have not yet submitte
d their asset details to the electoral body, a private TV channel reported.
As per Elections Act, 2017
, the caretaker ministers are required to submit their asset details along with those of their fam
