Who won the previous election?
In the 2018 Pakistani general election, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), led by Imran Khan, secured the most seats in the National Assembly but fell short of a majority.
As a result, the PTI formed a coalition government with several smaller parties. At the provincial level, the PTI remained the largest party in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), while the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) retained its dominance in Sindh.
In Punjab, the result was a hung parliament, with the Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N) winning the most seats. However, after several independent MPAs joined the PTI, the latter became the largest party and was able to form a government.
