ISLAMABAD (Daily Point) — The Election Commission of Pakistan has released additional provisional results for the National Assembly constituencies, bringing the total count to 257.

The data indicates a fierce competition between independent candidates and two major political parties, PMLN and PPP, for the National Assembly seats.

According to the latest figures from the ECP, independent candidates have secured at least 101 seats, while PMLN closely trails with 74 seats and PPP with 54 seats. The margin between independent candidates and the two major parties narrowed as more results came in.

MQM-P has clinched a significant victory, securing at least 17 National Assembly seats, mainly from Karachi and other cities in Sindh. The party’s tally increased to 18 seats as the vote count progressed.

Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain-led PMLQ and Fazlur Rehman’s JUI have each won three seats, as reported by the ECP.

Jahangir Tareen’s IPP has secured two seats. Additionally, Akhtar Mengal’s BNP, Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen Pakistan, and Pakistan Muslim League-Z have each won one seat.

However, the Grand Democratic Alliance, Awami National Party, and Jamaat-e-Islami have not secured any seats in the national legislature yet, although results for over a dozen seats are still pending.

The ECP faced delays in processing results on Thursday night and Friday morning.

It announced the result for NA-130 after 9pm where Nawaz Sharif battled PTI-backed candidate Yasmin Rashid. Sharif bagged 179,310 votes against Rashid’s 104,485 votes.

Nawaz Sharif lost NA-15 Mansehra to a PTI-backed candidate.

Final vote count changed some of the results. For example, PTI-backed Khurrum Sher Zaman was leading the race in Karachi’s NA-241 but eventually lost to PPP’s Ikhtiar Baig. Farooq Sattar from the same constituency could secure only 494 votes, according to Form-17 issued by ECP.
