Annual “no office-seeking” pledge

Evaluates the annual pledge where leaders affirm they did not seek office. This practice upholds amānah (trust) and ikhlās (sincerity), building stakeholder confidence by ensuring leadership is a selfless responsibility, not a position of personal ambition. The pledge prohibits campaigning or canvassing for appointment, but does not prohibit: (i) expressing willingness to serve when invited by the nominations process, (ii) submitting a factual statement where the governing document requires candidate information, or (iii) participating in open, skills-based recruitment conducted by the Nominations Committee. It distinguishes prohibited self-promotion from permitted transparency and service.
