IHC to hear PTI-P challenge to ECP notification today

ISLAMABAD: The Islam­a­bad High Court (IHC) on Tues­day will hear a petition filed by Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Par­lia­mentarians (PTI-P) seeking suspension of the Election Com­­­mission of Pakistan’s (ECP) July 2 notification allocating 21 reserved seats in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assembly.

The PTI-P, led by Pervaiz Khat­tak, has accused the ECP of unlawfully depriving it of its rightful share of reserved seats by relying on an allegedly in­­correct count of general seats won by PTI-P in the February 8 elections.
