PTI leader Ali Zafar has demanded the immediate resignation of the Election Commission of Pakistan and sought proceedings against the Chief Election Commissioner under Article 6 (treason) of the Constitution.

Speaking during a Senate session, he said the PTI had prepared a resolution in this regard which would be presented shortly.

Zafar’s announcement came moments after the ECP rejected the Sunni Ittehad Council’s plea regarding the allocation of reserved seats.

“They cannot stay in this position for a minute longer,” Zafar said, adding that the ECP had violated the Constitution through this verdict.
