ECP Reverses Senate Vacancy

IslamabadNo oath, no membership, the commission ruled.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Senate seat sat empty for five months while a province stayed unrepresented.

Under Pakistan’s constitution, a returned candidate becomes a member only after taking the oath, so disqualification before it voids nothing.

The seat won by Murad Saeed of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf remains unfilled, its status now open to legal challenge.
