The dispute over administering the oath to women elected on reserved seats in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly has resurfaced, with opposition parties now seeking legal advice to press for convening the assembly session.

According to sources, if the session is not convened promptly to administer the oaths, the provincial government could face a constitutional crisis ahead of the Senate elections scheduled for July 21.

Officials familiar with the matter say it is considered essential for the newly elected women members to be sworn in before the Senate polls.

Failure to do so, despite clear court directives, could expose the KP government to both constitutional and political challenges.

Sources further revealed that the Speaker of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly is weighing options to call a session soon, aiming to comply with judicial orders and prevent any legal complications that could disrupt the Senate election process.

Opposition leaders argue that continued delays in administering the oaths, despite court rulings, undermine both the constitution and democratic norms.

They have warned that the matter has reached a point where further postponement is unacceptable.
