The ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has emerged with a significant advantage following the conclusion of polling in 21 constituencies nationwide as initial and unofficial results have suggested a commanding position for the party, Dawn reported.
In Punjab, elections were held for 12 provincial and two national assembly seats, while Khyber Pakhtunkhwa saw contests for four seats, and two seats were contested in Balochistan. Additionally, one National Assembly seat in Sindh was up for grabs.
Preliminary tallies indicated the PML-N leading in all constituencies in Punjab, with the exception of Rahim Yar Khan. Meanwhile, in Sindh, the PPP candidate appeared to be the likely winner. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, PTI-backed candidates were ahead on two seats in DI Khan and Kohat, with PTI-backed Faisal Amin Khan Gandapur securing victory in NA-44, Dawn reported citing unofficial reports.
