PML-N bags two more reserved seats
Listen to article The ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Sunday increased its strength in the National Assembly with the addition of two reserved seats for women from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), according to a notification issued by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). The ECP notified Samar Haroon Bilour, Saeeda Jamshed Khan as members of the National Assembly. Both the names were sent to the ECP last month. This addition makes the ruling party's strength in the 336-strong house to 124. The names of Bilour and Khan appeared at number 1 and 2 on its priority list for the reserved seats for women submitted to the provincial election commissioner, who is the returning officer for filling the two seats. The seats allocation came as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was declared not entitled to the reserved seats for women and non-Muslims. Consequently, the ECP allotted five out of 10 reserved seats from K-P to the PML-N, three to Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam and two to Pakistan Peoples Party-Parliamentarians.
