PTI Consolidates Position with ECP Ahead of Crucial Polls

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has taken a significant step to strengthen its position in the political landscape by submitting affiliation forms of 38 independent members to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

Strategic Move

This move marks PTI’s efforts to expand its influence and solidify its base in the National Assembly.

Affiliation Forms Submitted

A PTI representative submitted the forms to the ECP, with only three members’ affidavits pending. However, PTI sources confirm that the forms of two members, Sahibzada Mehboob Sultan and Mubeen Arif, will be submitted today.

Compliance with Electoral Regulations

In addition to the affiliation forms, PTI has also submitted additional documents related to National Assembly members to ensure compliance with electoral regulations.

Robust Political Presence

This strategic move reflects PTI’s commitment to maintaining a robust political presence in Pakistan’s parliamentary system.

Apex Court Verdict

The move comes after the apex court’s split verdict granted reserved seats to PTI, which were earlier allocated to other parties by the ECP.
