On 13 May 2024, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) suspended her membership as a member of the National Assembly.[5] This action followed a Supreme Court of Pakistan decision to suspend the verdict of the Peshawar High Court, which had denied the allocation of a reserved seat to the PTI-Sunni Ittehad Council bloc.[6]
