Pakistan Election 2018 Results - Complete Result - Election Box
__________________________
The 2018 Pakistani general election took place on Wednesday 25 July, after the
completion of a five-year term by the outgoing government. At the national level,
elections were held on 270 constituencies and each of the 270 constituencies elected
one Member of the National Assembly (MNA) to the National Assembly of Pakistan. At the
provincial level, elections were held in each of four province to elect Members of the
Provincial Assemblies (MPA) in their respective provincial assemblies.
As a result of the election, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) became the single
largest party at the national level both in terms of popular vote and in terms of
seats. At the provincial level, the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) (PML-N) remained
the largest party in Punjab, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
(KP), Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) in Sindh and the newly-formed Balochistan Awami
Party (BAP) became the largest party in Balochistan.
Opinion polling had consistently shown leads for the PML-N over PTI. From a 11-point
lead, the PML-N's lead began to diminish in the final weeks of the campaign. In a
result, the PTI made a net gain with 31.87% of the vote (its highest share of the vote
since its foundation), whilst PML-N made a net loss with 24.40%. In the lead up to the
elections, there had been allegations by some international journalists and scholars
about pre-poll rigging being conducted by the judiciary, the military and the
intelligence agencies to sway the election results in favour of the PTI and against
the PML (N). Opposition parties, mainly PML-N, also alleged large-scale vote rigging
and administrative malpractices.
However, Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) out rightly rejected such reports and
stated that elections were conducted fair and free. One of the top electoral watchdog
Free and Fair Election Network (Fafen) also said that the 2018 general elections in
Pakistan have been “more transparent in some aspects” than the previous polls. The
European Union Election Observation Mission said, in its preliminary report, that no
rigging has been found during the Election Day in general, however, "lack of equality
of opportunity" in the pre-election campaign, and there were systematic attempts to
undermine the ruling party PML-N. The European Union assessed the conduct of polling
on Election Day as "transparent".
The 342 members of the National Assembly are elected by two methods in three
categories; 272 are elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post
voting; 60 are reserved for females and 10 for ethnic and religious minority groups;
both sets of reserved seats use proportional representation with a 5% electoral
threshold. This proportional number, however, is based on the number of seats won
rather than votes cast. To win a simple majority, a party would have to take 137
seats.
The 2018 General Elections were held under new delimitation of constituencies as a
result of 2017 Census of Pakistan. Parliament of Pakistan amended the Constitution,
allowing a one-time exemption for redrawing constituency boundaries using 2017
provisional census results. As per the notification issued on 5 March 2018, the
Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) now has three constituencies, Punjab 141, Sindh 61,
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 39, Balochistan 16 and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA)
has 12 constituencies in the National Assembly. 106 million people were registered to
vote for members of the National Assembly of Pakistan and four Provincial Assemblies.
Likewise for elections to provincial assemblies, Punjab has 297 constituencies, Sindh
130, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 99 and Balochistan 51.
