The 8-5 majority judgement explained that 39 out of the 80 MNAs, shown by the ECP as PTI candidates, belonged to the party.

It was also ordered in the judgement that the the rest of the 41 independent winners of the parliamentary seats would have to file duly signed and notarised statements before the ECP within 15 days.

Finally, the electoral watchdog decided last week to implement the apex court’s verdict.
