Muhammad Jalal Sikandar Sultan has sworn in as the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC).

Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmad administered him the oath at a ceremony at the Supreme Court in Islamabad on Monday.

Muhammad Jalal Sikandar Sultan is a former bureaucrat.

He was chosen to head the Election Commission by a parliamentary committee comprising government and opposition members following the retirement of Sardar Raza Khan from the seat last month.
