ISLAMABAD: PTI moves Supreme Court against by-elections on Oct 16. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) moved Supreme Court (SC) against by-elections in eight constituencies of the National Assembly on Thursday, October 16.

PTI in its request submitted by Faisal Chaudhry wrote that ECP wants to hold by-elections on its own ‘will’ in ‘selected’ constituencies which is against the constitution and rule of law.
