PTI Strengthens Position with New Affiliations
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has submitted party affiliation forms for 38 independent members to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), according to sources who spoke to ARY News on Friday. This strategic move underscores PTI’s efforts to consolidate its influence within the political arena.
Details of Submission
A PTI representative delivered the affiliation forms to the ECP. However, the affidavits of three independent members, Sahibzada Mehboob Sultan, Mubeen Arif, and Riaz Fatyana, are still pending submission as these members are currently abroad. Sources mentioned that PTI has already received the affiliation forms from Mehboob Sultan and Mubeen Arif, and these will be submitted to the ECP today.
Additional Documents Submitted
In addition to the affiliation forms, PTI has also provided additional documents related to its National Assembly members. This comprehensive submission is part of PTI’s strategy to ensure compliance with electoral regulations and to bolster its legislative standing.
Supreme Court Verdict
The Supreme Court, in a split verdict, has granted reserved seats to PTI, which were previously allocated to other parties by the ECP. This development further strengthens PTI’s representation in the National Assembly.
Strategic Implications
This move highlights PTI’s ongoing efforts to solidify its base and enhance its parliamentary representation, reflecting the party’s commitment to maintaining a significant political presence within Pakistan’s legislative framework.
