Speaking to the media in Islamabad, PTI leader Barrister Gohar Ali Khan urged the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to allot reserved seats to the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), the new home for PTI-backed independents.

He said that the people have given their mandate, and expressed hopes that the ECP would listen to “what the people voted for on Feb 8”.

“These reserved seats belong to SIC, no other political party can lay claim to them,” Gohar asserted.
