ECP moves SC for clarification on PTI reserved seats
On Sep 23, a majority of the SC judges issued a detailed judgment on the reserved seats case
Islamabad: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has again approached the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) for clarification regarding the allocation of reserved seats to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), following the introduction of the Election Amendment Act.
The electoral watchdog, in its application to the court, explained that the July 12 ruling came before the new law was enacted and asked for guidance on whether to follow the amended parliamentary law or the Supreme Court’s previous ruling.
On September 23, a majority of the SC judges issued a detailed judgment on the reserved seats case, reaffirming that the ECP should notify PTI candidates for the seats.
On October 23, the SC ruled that the ECP's March 1 decision, regarding the allocation of reserved seats, was unconstitutional and ordered the seats be given to the PTI.
