Pakistan’s Election Commission will conduct an open hearing on a petition by the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), supported by Imran Khan’s PTI-backed candidates, seeking the allocation of reserved seats. The PTI’s independent candidates joined the SIC to secure reserved seats after the party couldn’t participate directly in the elections. President Arif Alvi’s rejection of summoning the National Assembly’s first session led to the Election Commission’s decision. This development follows power-sharing talks between PML-N and PPP, potentially impacting Khan’s return to power.
