The National Consensus Commission will once again engage in discussions with political parties to ensure the obligations of the July Charter are met and to determine the methods for its implementation.
This was announced by the commission’s co-chair, Professor Ali Riaz, during a press conference held on Friday (August 8, 2025) at the LD Hall of the National Parliament.
Ali Riaz stated that determining how to ensure the obligations of the charter, which was drafted based on consensus and is expected to be signed, and its implementation process requires discussions with political parties. To this end, the commission plans to consult with experts on the matter in the coming week.
He expressed optimism, saying, “It is hoped that a suitable decision can be reached within a short time through this process.”
Ali Riaz noted that in the past two rounds of discussions with political parties, significant progress has been made toward formulating the desired national charter, with a considerable number of recommendations and reforms achieving national consensus.
In the first round of dialogues, 62 out of 165 proposals secured political consensus. Some of these have already been implemented by the government through ordinances, policies, and executive decisions. However, 25 issues that faced opposition from political parties were not discussed further.
In the second round of dialogues, 20 critical constitutional issues were addressed. Of these, 11 issues received unanimous support from all parties, while decisions on the remaining nine were made based on the majority opinion of the parties. However, dissenting opinions from some parties will be noted.
