Barrister Ali Zafar says the Election Commission of Pakistan has reserved the verdict on the allocation of reserved seats for the Sunni Ittehad Council — which has allied with the PTI in the Centre, KP and Punjab.

In a media talk, Zafar said he hoped a decision would be taken as per the law and Constitution.

“But if our seats are distributed among the PML-N and PPP […] then we will definitely approach the Supreme Court but it would be such a huge violation that it will make the election of prime minister, president, Senate, NA speaker and deputy speaker will become controversial and will hold no legitimacy,” he added.
