Pakistan election 2024 updates
Many NA seat results have been announced officially. PTI-recommended independent candidates are leading the top with 93 NA seats. Secondly, PMLN has secured 78 seats in the national assembly after joining 4 independent candidates. PPP has 54 seats in NA, and MQM Pakistan secured 17 seats. Other independents who were not supported by any party secured 5 seats. JUI has 4 and Muslim League Q has 3 seats. So 264 seats’ results have been announced and one seat’s result remains to be confirmed.
On the second side, some political parties are protesting all over the country. Some political parties are meeting together to get support from other parties to increase their seats and to make their own government. Because any party has not secured enough seats to make its own self-government.
2 days before, the chairman of PPP Asif Ali Zardari met the PML-N Shahbaz Sharif to discuss further in-country politics. But the other related details are not shown in the media. The 4 member squad of MQM Pakistan consisting of Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, Kamran Tessori, Dr. Farooq Sattar, and Mustafa Kamal went to Lahore to meet PML-N Shahbaz Sharif. They say that they did not talk about making a government, they just want permanence in Pakistan’s politics. However, the Muslim League (Q) has confirmed that they are ready to form a government with PML-N.
The most important controversy is that without PPP support any party could not make its government. The PTI claimed that they have a chance to make government solely in the National Assembly.

The positions of province seats are a bit clear. PMLN has majority seats in the Punjab assembly. 137 seats have been secured by PMLN from 296 seats. 116 seats have been won by PTI-supported independents. 22 seats have been other independents in the Punjab assembly. If these 22 independents are included in PMLN then PMLN will succeed in making government in Punjab. But if these 22 independents join the PTI, there will be no chance for the PTI to form a government in Punjab.
Sindh Assembly PPP has a very clear position by getting majority seats. It secured 84 seats in the Sindh assembly. MQM Pakistan has 28 seats and independents have 11 seats in the Provincial Assembly. PPP can easily form a government in Sindh because they have no competition for them.
PTI has held in the KPK assembly by winning 83 seats out of a total of 113. Other independent candidates who are not supported by PTI have secured 9 seats and the remaining 7 seats have been won by JUI-F. In KPK, PTI can make their government easily because they also don’t have much competition there.
An interesting situation is created In Balochistan. 11, 11 seats were won by the PPP and JUI-F. PMLN has 10 seats in PS. So it will be interesting who will make government in Balochistan and it could depend on a coalition in the National Assembly.
