Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar stressed that, as a result of the modified Election Act, independent candidates must formally join any political party within three days of winning polls. This procedure is now irreversible.
The Law Minister announced two changes to the Election Act during a press conference in Islamabad. He also mentioned that Sections 104-A and 66 of the Election Act have not been taken into consideration in the comprehensive ruling.
He stated that despite the Supreme Court’s comprehensive ruling, a number of problems remain unresolved.
The law minister stated that the independent candidates resolved their legal issues by joining the Sunni Ittehad Council and that PTI was not a party in the Election Commission, Pehsawar High Court, or the Supreme Court.
