      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330455954/setback-for-pti-as-murad-saeed-disqualified-from-senate</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In a major setback to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday disqualified party senator Murad Saeed.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to an official notification, the Election Commission has also declared his Senate seat from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa vacant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ECP said the decision was based on a ruling by an anti-terrorism court, which had sentenced Murad Saeed to 10 years in prison.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The disqualification was carried out under Article 63(1)(h) of the Constitution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following the ruling, the commission formally de-notified Murad Saeed as a member of the Senate and declared the general seat from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa vacant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Murad Saeed, a senior leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), had been elected to the Senate from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
