== 93 seats instead of 39 ==

@]@] I am changing the seat numbers back to 93 instead of 39, the reason for this is that both PTI and PTI backed Independents are counted as one bloc in the elections by news reports at the time. The SCP and ECP decision to give 39 is a post election decision, if post election decisions should be counted, then by that logic, the seats after the motion of no confidence against Imran Khan should be in the 2018 election. All news reports at the time of the election should be our source and all of the following claim that 93 seats were won.




Misplaced Pages is not only for covering the ''de-jure'' situation but also for covering the ''de-facto'' situation, which is that PTI candidates filed their nominations as PTI, but were forced to run as Independents. Officially they won 93 seats I will add a footnote saying saying only 39 seats were recognized as PTI but 93 is the main number of seats won. As per ] I can undo without reaching consensus with other editors but consensus is needed to restore it, but I am leaving this note here before I change the seats from 39 to 93 and from PTI to PTI-Ind. so that I can avoid an edit war and instead we can discuss any opposition to this move with civility here. ] (]) 16:16, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
:You’re misinterpreting the details. The SCP and ECP decisions, although made after the election, pertain to the election itself. You cannot have it both ways, as the saying goes, "you can’t have your cake and eat it too." They acknowledged that 39 individuals declared their affiliation with PTI when filing their nomination papers, making it retroactively effective. Since they stated their affiliation before the election, it is recognized as PTI. You can’t compare apples with oranges by equating this with the post-vote of no confidence situation, which was unrelated to the 2018 election. I’m reverting it to 39, as the others are considered independent based on the SCP and ECP decisions, and this recent update supersedes any information from older sources. ] &#124; ] &#124; 17:02, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
::The SCP and ECP order declares 39 seats as PTI in the assembly, not that 39 seats were won by PTI during the election. The contemporary sources highlight that 93 Independent seats were won during the election this is de-facto, which should be the main priority. The National Assembly article should state that 39 individuals are under PTI, but PTI-backed independents and PTI candidates themselves formed a single bloc during the election. All 93 Independents voted for Omar Ayub Khan as Prime Minister in a united bloc. The sources are not outdated; they are contemporary to the election. The SCP order does not claim that the people of Pakistan voted for 39 PTI seats. It merely indicates that out of the 93 Independent candidates, those who have filed papers confirming their affiliation with PTI should be counted as PTI members. If there is no further opposition, I will revert the seat count to 93, as the Independent-PTI bloc won that many seats, and this information remains relevant. This article focuses on the election results, not the subsequent composition of the assembly. It is a clear fact that PTI-backed candidates won 93 seats. ] (]) 17:32, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
:::], I'm not following this article closely, as my last edit was in May. However, now that you've pinged me, I'll subscribe to this thread and keep an eye on how it develops. Though I do have to say, what you suggested is somewhat in line with my thoughts. I might add my 2cents later if necessary.<span id="Saqib:1723487844900:TalkFTTCLN2024_Pakistani_general_election" class="FTTCmt"> — ] (] I ]) 18:37, 12 August 2024 (UTC)</span>
:::I stand by my previous statement: when the nation's highest court acknowledged only 39 individuals as affiliated with PTI, it was because the others did not declare their affiliation in their nomination papers. It’s common sense—if someone doesn’t declare their affiliation with a specific party, they cannot be considered as affiliated with it. ] &#124; ] &#124; 18:45, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
::::You did not refer to my previous point, this article is about the election itself not the composition of the assembly after the election, PTI Independents were one bloc during the election, the SCP ruling hasn’t said they weren’t, the ruling just says that 39 seats in the assembly right now are PTI, not that PTI won 39 seats in the election. ] (]) 18:47, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
:::::And, you are not following me, when SCP states that 39 are PTI MNAs because they declared their affiliation with PTI in their nomination papers, others are not because they simply did not declare their affiliation in their nomination papers. When are nomination papers filed, before the election. So this decision becomes about their status in the election not just the status in the assembly. ] &#124; ] &#124; 18:59, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
::::::All 93 declared their affiliation as PTI in their nomination papers, ECP rejected them and forced them to be Independent but the SCP reinstated 39 as PTI, it doesn’t change the fact that 93 PTI affiliates won the February election. ] (]) 19:02, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
:::::::No, they did not. The ruling of the country’s highest court clearly disagrees with you. If everyone had declared their affiliation, the court would have confirmed your stated number, but that is evidently not the case. ] &#124; ] &#124; 19:08, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
::::::::I sent 3 news reports stating that 93 PTI-backed Independents won the elections. The SCP ruling was based on the distribution of reserve seats and after election affiliation of seats. The facts are: In the elections, 93 Independents won their seats and news reports clearly state that they were PTI-backed. You are making it seem that I am siding against the SCP, which I am not. By putting 39 PTI seats you are excluding the largest bloc of the elections which is very, very misleading. If the SCP ruling was an election by itself then you can put that 39 seats were won by PTI, but this is about the 2024 February election and the most votes went to PTI-backed Independents, officially 93 not 39. ] (]) 19:21, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::SCP ruling is about the February 2024 election. ] &#124; ] &#124; 19:45, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::It nowhere says by the SCP that PTI won 39 seats in the election, it says out of the 93 PTI-backed Independent seats won, 39 are officially recognized as PTI, that still means that the 93 backed Independents won the election and the 39 are for assembly composition purposes, not how many seats were won in the election. This is what I’m saying that the SCP ruling number should be included in the assembly articles, not the election, the election is about how many seats won. ] (]) 19:51, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::::The Supreme Court’s decision doesn’t need to explicitly state that 39 won the election. By acknowledging that 39 declared their PTI affiliation in their nomination papers, it implies the same. If others didn’t declare their affiliation, they can’t be counted as PTI members winning those seats. If the Supreme Court determined that only 39 declared their affiliation at the time of the election, adding more would be like distorting the results in favor of that party and that is what you are doing here by working overtime. ] &#124; ] &#124; 20:04, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::::I am restoring it to PTI-Ind. not PTI. They are officially Independents but are backed by PTI that is what I have been saying and the sources I sent are saying. I never said they are PTI members the sources I sent say they are Independents backed by PTI. You also overlooked my last two points so I'll write them here again: This is what I’m saying that the SCP ruling number should be included in the assembly articles, not the election, the election is about how many seats won. ] (]) 20:10, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::::::I said this before, all 93 candidates filed for PTI but were given an Independent status, and the SCP chose to accept 39. It isn't like that the remaining Independents were random fellows Pakistanis decided to elect, they filed as PTI but were rejected, hence we can include both de-facto and de-jure which would be written as PTI-Ind. By only covering de-jure you are excluding half of the elections results. ] (]) 20:16, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::::::I’ve made my stance clear, and it differs from yours. This discussion has reached a stalemate. The Supreme Court’s decision wasn’t arbitrary. If they recognized 39, they would have recognized more if warranted. The reason they didn’t accept more than 39 is that the others didn’t declare their affiliation in their nomination papers. Therefore, the remaining elected individuals can’t be considered PTI members or supported by PTI as you claim. ] &#124; ] &#124; 20:21, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::If it is a stalemate then as per ] and ] I can undo a new inclusion not having consensus, so I can undo your edit of making it 39 seats and I can make it 93, and you must reach consensus with me/other editors to restore your revision, I will do that by the end of the day, for now I would ask @] to give his third opinion now. ] (]) 20:29, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::Consensus doesn’t mean that new information can’t be updated when it becomes available. There was no prior consensus as well. PTI-Ind were included arbitrarily without consensus. ] &#124; ] &#124; 20:39, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::It was under consensus before, as there were discussions on how to represent PTI or Independents while the election was happening. I am following through with ], please do not undo my reversion as it will turn into an edit war in violation of ] and ], If you think that your edit changing the seats to 39 is “updating” or “modifying” the article with new content that is your opinion, as long as other editors like me and Saqib disagree and there is no consensus then the new edit/content will be removed. Have a good day, no hard feelings. ] (]) 21:08, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

:::@] These policies apply to both of us not just to me. There was no consensus to begin-with, the way PTI-IND was added, there was a lot of opposition at the time.

::::: ], That is a completely false statement, I cited multiple reports counting PTI-Independents as one bloc during the elections, the 93 seat bloc was the largest bloc of the elections which you simply can’t exclude. I would suggest checking the sources I put before throwing out such allegations. Reuters, Al Jazeera all reports count PTI Independents as one bloc that won 93 seats. If you can show me one report that says PTI won 38 seats during the elections instead of gaining 38 seats as part of a separate case after the elections, then I will concede. ] (]) 16:50, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

PTI Independents didn’t have an official color, nor gray nor red, so it would be easier to just put a color that matches with the map.
