Pakistan's Supreme Court rules PTI party eligible for reserved seats

epa11473860 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Gohar Ali Khan (C), Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) Chairman Sahibzada Hamid Raza (L), and Syed Shibli Faraz (R) a leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, talk to journalists during a press conference outside the Supreme Court of Pakistan, in Islamabad, Pakistan, 12 July 2024. The Supreme Court of Pakistan ruled in favor of former PM Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), declaring it eligible for seats reserved for women and minorities and overturning decisions by the Peshawar High Court and the Election Commission of Pakistan. The case stemmed from PTI-backed candidates joining the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) after losing their election symbol, leading to a legal battle over the allocation of reserved seats. The court's decision, made by a majority of eight judges, was celebrated by PTI members who demanded the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner and hailed the verdict as a step towards restoring democracy in Pakistan.
