In a major political development, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has declared all Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) lawmakers as independent members, following the Supreme Court’s August 25, 2025 ruling.
According to an official ECP notification, all national and provincial assembly members previously affiliated with PTI or SIC will now no longer be listed under any party affiliation.
The ECP stated that, in light of the Supreme Court’s detailed verdict, the legislators’ association with PTI or SIC cannot be legally recognized. Consequently, the party positions in the National Assembly and provincial assemblies of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Sindh have been revised.
New lists reflecting the updated party standings in all assemblies have been issued by the commission.
