The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has approached the Supreme Court once again for clarification regarding the allocation of reserved seats to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
In the application submitted to the Supreme Court, the ECP stated that guidance was needed following the introduction of the Election Amendment Act, as the brief ruling from July 12 was issued prior to the enactment of the new law.
The ECP’s request further noted that the Parliament had now established a legal framework through the Election Amendment Act and sought clarification on whether to implement this parliamentary law or adhere to the Supreme Court’s earlier ruling.
It is important to mention that on September 23, the majority of judges in the Supreme Court released a detailed judgment regarding the reserved seats case, once again directing the ECP to notify PTI candidates for the reserved seats.
