In an eagerly anticipated electoral event, the nation with a population of 240 million witnessed its elections on February 8, after some delays, for a vast number of seats across both national and provincial levels. As the week progresses, the curtain rises on early, yet unofficial, election outcomes.
Contestants and Constituencies
The election saga unfolds with a mix of independent candidates and those backed by major parties across various constituencies:
- Northern Regions to Urban Centers – Independent candidates like Abdul Latif from Chitral (NA-1) and Amjad Ali Khan from Swat-1 (NA-2) to prominent party figures in Lahore and Islamabad showcase the electoral diversity.
- PTI, PML-N, and PPP’s Strongholds – The battle sees PTI-backed independents, and stalwarts of PML-N and PPP vying for seats, reflecting a closely contested battle across the board.
Highlighting Notable Candidates and Their Constituencies
- Independent Forces: With independents marking their territory in places like Upper Dir (NA-5, Sahibzada Sibghatullah) and Lower Dir (NA-6, Bashir Khan), the election paints a picture of evolving political dynamics.
- Party-backed Victories: The landscape is also dotted with PTI-supported victories like in Malakand (NA-9, Junaid Akbar) and strong showings by PML-N in traditional strongholds, indicating a rich tapestry of political affiliations.
