The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday declared 39 lawmakers — who contested the February 8 elections as independent candidates and later joined the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) — as members of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in line with the Supreme Court’s July 12 verdict in reserved seats case.
The ECP uploaded the notification on its website to declare 39 NA lawmakers as the former ruling party’s members who had shown their affiliation with the PTI in their nomination papers for the February 8 nationwide polls.
Asad Qaiser, Sher Afzal Khan, Latif Khan Khosa, Zartarj Gul, Shandana Gulzar Khan, Zain Hussain Qureshi, Malik Aamir Dogar, Ali Afzal Sahi, Ali Khan Jadoon, and others were among the notified PTI MNAs.
The PTI MNAs who have been notified by the ECP today were those who had shown their party affiliation with the Imran-founded party in their nomination papers before the 2024 general elections.
