Controversy Surrounds Reserved Seat as JUI(F) Chief Challenges Election Commission's Notification

A contentious situation has arisen following the Election Commission's notification of an unknown woman, Sadaf Ehsan, securing a reserved seat on the quota of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) in the National Assembly from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The notification, numbered F6 of 2024, has triggered a challenge from JUI(F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who has called for its cancellation and an investigation.

In the official request submitted by Maulana Fazlur Rehman, it is asserted that Sadaf Ehsan is not affiliated with the party, and her name does not appear on their membership list. The plea urges the Election Commission to annul the notification for Sadaf Ehsan and issue a new one for Hina Bibi, raising questions about the legitimacy of the initial notification.

The petition questions whether the issuance of Sadaf Ehsan's notification was a mistake or a result of collusion, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation into the matter. The controversy adds a layer of complexity to the reserved seat allocation, bringing attention to the procedural aspects of the electoral process.#ReservedSeatDispute #JUIF #ElectionControversy
