Supreme Court to Hear Challenge Against Controversial MP Defection Amendment
The Supreme Court on Wednesday accepted a constitutional case filed by former MP and lawyer Ali Hussain seeking to quash recent amendments to Article 73 of the Constitution, which strip MPs of their seats if they defect, are expelled, or join another party mid-term. The opposition MDP and Democrats announced they would join the case, while critics say the amendment centralises power and was pushed through the People's Majlis in less than 24 hours.
