PAKISTAN PARTIES PTI

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

epa11474165 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party Chairman Gohar Ali Khan (C), and PTI Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan (C-L) attend a press conference in Islamabad, Pakistan, 12 July 2024. The Supreme Court of Pakistan ruled in favor of Khan's PTI party, 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.
