- The ECP will issue on Saturday notification for candidates elected on special seats for women and minorities
ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday announced the final results of the July 25 general election.
It withheld the results of at least 14 National Assembly constituencies due to pending hearings and court cases regarding code-of-conduct violations.
The ECP withheld notification of Prime Minister-in-waiting Imran Khan’s victory in two constituencies: NA-53 Islamabad and NA-131 Lahore.
Notifications for his win in NA-35 Bannu, NA-95 Mianwali and NA-243 Karachi East-II are subject to the ECP’s final decision in pending cases pertaining to violations of its code of conduct.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) emerged as the single largest party in the election, winning 116 National Assembly seats out of the contested 270.
The election was postponed in two constituencies: NA-60 Rawalpindi and NA-103 Faisalabad.
The National Assembly has 342 seats, of which 272 are directly elected through votes, while 60 others are reserved for women and 10 for religious minorities.
As per the law, all those who won as independent candidates will have to declare their affiliation with a political party within three days if they wish to join one.
Once the independent candidates formally join the political party of their choice, the ECP will calculate each party’s share of seats reserved for women and religious minorities.
Notification of those elected on those reserved seats will be announced by the ECP on Saturday, after which President Mamnoon Hussain will summon a National Assembly session in which newly elected members will take an oath.
