Pakistan's Supreme Court rules PTI party eligible for reserved seats

Supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party, Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI), are celebrating after a Supreme Court verdict in Peshawar, Pakistan, on July 12, 2024. The Supreme Court of Pakistan is ruling in favor of Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), declaring it eligible for seats reserved for women and minorities and overturning decisions by the Peshawar High Court and the Election Commission of Pakistan. The case is stemming from PTI-backed candidates joining the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) after losing their election symbol, leading to a legal battle over the allocation of reserved seats. The court's decision, made by a majority of eight judges, is being celebrated by PTI members who are demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner and hailing the verdict as a step towards restoring democracy in Pakistan.
