ISLAMABAD: The federal government’s efforts to get the 27th Constitutional Amendment passed by both Houses of Parliament gained major momentum as the standing committees of both houses of Parliament on law and justice on Sunday approved, with some revisions, the draft of the Constitution (Twenty-Seventh Amendment) Bill, 2025.

This development came as PM Shehbaz Sharif stepped up efforts to secure consensus on 27th Amendment. The passage of the bill marked another step in what the government describes as an effort to reform the judicial and constitutional framework of the country.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday praised coalition partners for their support in advancing the 27th Constitutional Amendment, calling the achievement a reflection of “national unity and collective resolve”.

The premier hosted a dinner of government and coalition senators after a joint parliamentary committee comprising legislators from the Senate and National Assembly’s standing committees on law and justice approved the complete draft of the proposed 27th Amendment, sources told Geo News earlier in the day.

The premier said all allied parties “stood firmly behind the government’s national approach”, adding that the spirit of cooperation had strengthened the federation.

“The government and all coalition partners worked together for better governance and harmony amon
