The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) ruling that Pakistan Democratic Front (PDM) strategy in today’s runoff election for Punjab Chief Minister relies on says, “the vote of any member (including a deemed member) of a Parliamentary Party in a House that is cast contrary to any direction issued by the latter in terms of para (b) of clause (1) of Article 63A cannot be counted and must be disregarded, and this is so regardless of whether the Party Head, subsequent to such vote, proceeds to take, or refrains from taking, action that would result in a declaration of defection.”
