Former MP Challenges Constitutional Amendment in Supreme Court

Former MP and lawyer Ali Hussain filed a petition with the Supreme Court seeking to invalidate the recent constitutional amendment to Article 73, arguing it conflicts with several constitutional provisions. The amendment, enacted last Wednesday, mandates loss of parliamentary seats for defecting, expelled or mid-term party-joining members, and was approved by the People's Majlis in less than 24 hours amid protests.
