The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has moved the Supreme Court to review its decision in the reserved seats case involving Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Sunni-Ittehad-Council.
The petition stated that’ ‘’Primary relief has been granted to the PTI.’’
With his counsel Salman Akram Raja, PTI chairman barrister Gohar Ali Khan approached the apex court to restrain ECP from allocating reserved seats to other parties.
“Such reserved seats belong to PTI and its candidates whose names are present in the list presented before ECP in accordance with the judgement of the Supreme Court dated 12-7-2024. Candidates may be declared elected to the reserved seats for women and non-Muslims,” the petition read.
On July 12, 2024, the Supreme Court ruled that the former ruling party was eligible for the reserved seats. After implementing the decision, PTI will become the largest parliamentary party.
