Sunni Ittehad Council under Scrutiny for Reserved Seats Distribution

Following the general elections held on February 8, a significant issue has arisen regarding the distribution of reserved seats to the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC). The SIC, a party that independent lawmakers supported by PTI joined after the election results were officially announced, has become a focal point of scrutiny.

One key aspect of concern is the involvement of judges in assessing the conduct of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in handling the allocation of reserved seats. It is noteworthy that the judges overseeing this matter are not part of the special bench assigned to the case, raising questions about the impartiality and transparency of the process.

The controversy surrounding the distribution of reserved seats stems from the perceived lack of clarity and fairness in the allocation process. With independent lawmakers aligning themselves with the SIC post-election, there have been allegations of favoritism and political maneuvering influencing the seat distribution.

As the debate over the reserved seats allocated to the Sunni Ittehad Council continues, it is essential for all stakeholders to prioritize transparency and accountability in the electoral process. Upholding the principles of fairness and justice is crucial in ensuring the integrity of democratic practices and upholding the trust of the public in the electoral system.
