ISLAMABAD In an attempt to obtain a stay of the Supreme Court’s July 12 judgment, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has filed two more petitions in the highest court, arguing that the detailed verdict in the reserved seats case should be followed in light of the recently passed Election Act Amendment Bill 2024.
The Supreme Court referred to the PTI as “a political party” and declared it qualified for the seats designated for women and minorities in its extensive 70-page ruling on September 23.
A day earlier, the electoral watchdog went to the highest court to ask for advice on whether to abide by the modified Election Act of 2017 or its ruling regarding the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) allocation of reserved seats.
