1. Decision follows meeting of electoral body to consider apex court's ruling on PTI-SIC reserved seats case
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has decided to implement the Supreme Court's order to allot reserved seats to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). This follows a legal victory for PTI, as the Supreme Court ruled on July 12 that PTI remains a political party entitled to reserved seats in the national and provincial assemblies, despite previous judgments. The ECP has issued directives to its legal team to identify any obstacles in implementing the verdict and condemned criticism from PTI, asserting its commitment to the Constitution and laws. The controversy stemmed from nomination papers and party ticket submissions of PTI-affiliated candidates and independents, leading to legal disputes resolved by the Supreme Court's ruling.
