Lahore: Tehreek-e-Insaf is likely to get 27 more seats in Punjab after the decision of the Supreme Court regarding specific seats.
The House of Punjab Assembly consists of 371 members in which 297 members are elected on general seats. There are a total of 66 reserved and 8 minority jobs for women.
Tehreek-e-Insaaf has 108 members in the Punjab Assembly and after the court verdict, PTI can get 24 women and 3 minority seats in the Punjab Assembly.
It should be noted that the Supreme Court has annulled the decision of the Peshawar High Court and the Election Commission regarding the specific seats of the Sunni Ittehad Council.
A 13-member larger bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Qazi Faiz Isa, had reserved the verdict in the case regarding the specific seats of the Sunni Unity Council, which was pronounced by Justice Mansoor Ali Shah.
The court declared the Election Commission’s notification of May 13 unconstitutional. The majority decision of the Supreme Court has said that a party cannot be deprived of the electoral process by depriving it of an election symbol.
