The Supreme Court of Pakistan has ruled that the Election Commission's (ECP) decision regarding reserved seats was unconstitutional and ordered that these seats be allocated to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). The court annulled previous decisions by the Peshawar High Court and the ECP, stating that the PTI is entitled to the seats due to its participation in the February general elections. The ECP was directed to notify the winning candidates and take necessary actions within 15 days. Additionally, the court criticized the ECP for failing to perform its constitutional duties and highlighted the importance of upholding the democratic process. EPA/SOHAIL SHAHZAD
