ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has knocked the door of the Supreme Court of Pakistan once again for clarification about the allocation of reserved seats to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
In the plea submitted to the Apex Court, the Election Commission of Pakistan said that guidance was needed after the introduction of the Election Amendment Act, as the brief order from July 12 was issued prior to the enactment of the new law.
The ECP’s plea further noted that the Parliament of the country had now set up a legal framework via the Election Amendment Act and sought clarification on whether to implement this law or adhere to the SC’s earlier ruling.
On September 23, the majority of judges in the Supreme Court had released a detailed verdict about the reserved seats case, once again directing the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to notify PTI candidates for the reserved seats.
