ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has decided to implement the Supreme Court’s order on allotting reserved seats to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

In a major legal victory for the PTI and a setback for the rulers, the apex court had on July 12 ruled that PTI was and is a political party that won general seats in the national and provincial assemblies in the February 8 elections, thus, is entitled to reserved seats.

The court, by a majority of 8, set aside the Peshawar High Court’s judgement of March 25 and declared the ECP order of March 1 to be ultra vires the Constitution, without lawful authority and of no legal effect.
