The ruling Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) is determined not to go down without a fight. Despite the decision of the apex court on the reserved seats verdict, the PML-N is adamant about having its say. Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar presented the Election Act (Amendment) Bill 2024 in the National Assembly, proposing amendments to the election law. The bill suggests that a po­litical party should not be allocated seats reserved for women and non-Muslim candidates if it fails to submit its list for the reserved seats within the prescribed time. However, with the PML-N deter­mined to see this through, we should not expect them to give these considerations much weight.
