The decision came in response to a letter from CCCI, which requested additional time for the administrator to carry out regular operations and ensure a fair and impartial election. The chamber sent this request to the ministry on 23 June.
Earlier, on 9 September, Anwar Pasha was appointed as administrator by the Ministry of Commerce after all 24 elected office bearers of the 2023-24 term, including the president, vice president, and directors, resigned.
