PTI Submits List of Specific Seats to Election Commission, Including Reserved and Minority Seats

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has officially submitted its list of specific seats to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), covering positions in the National Assembly, Sindh, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assemblies. The list includes nominations for 67 women’s seats and 11 minority seats.

 

Key Nominations

According to sources, the list submitted by PTI features several prominent names for specific seats:

 

National Assembly: Sanam Javed, Alia Hamza, Kanwal Shuzab, Rubina Shaheen, and Seemabiya Tahir.

Minority Seat in National Assembly: Lal Chand Malhi.

Reserved Seat for Punjab Assembly: Yasmin Rashid.

Context and Recent Developments

The submission comes after a significant legal development. On July 12, the Supreme Court issued a reserved decision on the Sunni Ittehad Council's application concerning specific seats. The court annulled previous decisions by the Election Commission and the Peshawar High Court, directing that the specific seats be allocated to PTI.

 

Implications

This decision is expected to influence the composition of the upcoming assemblies and the political landscape leading up to the elections. PTI's strategic nominations are likely to play a crucial role in shaping the party's representation in various legislative bodies.

 

Next Steps

The Election Commission will review the submitted list and proceed with the necessary formalities to finalize the allocations. The political community and stakeholders will be watching closely as the process unfolds.
