The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has released provisional results for 250 out of 265 constituencies, with vote counting ongoing two days after polling.
The election, held on February 8 across Pakistan, encompassed 264 National Assembly seats, as voting in NA-8 was postponed due to a candidate’s death.
According to unofficial figures shared by the ECP on Form 47, the current party standings are as follows:
- Independent: 99 seats

- Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians: 53 seats

- Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen, Pakistan: 1 seat
- Balochistan National Party: 1 seat
- Pakistan Muslim League (Zia-ul-Haq Shaheed): 1 seat
Independent candidates lead with 99 seats, followed by PML-N with 71 and PPPP with 53.
PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif called for unity among political parties and independent winners to form a joint government, termed the “Unity Government,” to tackle the country’s crises. He tasked Shehbaz Sharif with meeting Asif Ali Zardari, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, and Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui for this purpose.
