The Election Commission of Pakistan issued on Sunday provisional results for all the National Assembly constituencies. It released results of 264 NA seats out of the total 266 as the election on NA-8 was postponed while it withheld the result for NA-88. The data shows a tough contest between independent candidates and two major political parties, PMLN and PPP, for the National Assembly seats.
The latest tally by the ECP shows that independent candidates have won at least 101 seats while PMLN is trailing closely behind with 75 seats and PPP with 54 seats.
MQM-P has won at least 17 National Assembly seats mainly from Karachi but also other cities in Sindh. The party has claimed victory on 18 seats and its numbers finally grew as the vote count advanced.
Fazlur Rehman’s JUI won four seats and Chaudhry Shujaat Hussian-led PMLQ won at least 3 seats, according to the ECP.
Jahangir Tareen’s IPP and Akhtar Mengal’s BNP won two seats each. Moreover, Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen Pakistan, Balochistan Awami Party, Pashtoonkhwa National Awami Party Pakistan, National Party, Pashtoonkhwa Milli Awami Party, and Pakistan Muslim League-Z won one seat each.
