The July 25 election also witnessed major upsets for political heavyweights

Punjab Assembly 

In the Punjab Assembly, as per the ECP's results for the total of 295 seats, the PML-N bagged 129 and PTI 123 seats.

The PML-Q won seven seats, PPP six and Pakistan Awami Raj one seat. 

Independents elected to the provincial assembly stand at 29. 

In the provincial assembly, only the result of PP-1 (Attock) is awaited as in the total house of 297, polling wasn't held on PP-87 and PP-103 due to the death of candidates.

Sindh Assembly 

In the Sindh Assembly's 129 seats, the PPP continued its majority in the house with 76 seats while the PTI managed to get 23, MQM-P 16 and GDA 11 seats. 

Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan won two seats while the MMA bagged one seat from the province. 

The result for the provincial assembly, with 130 seats in total, is complete as polling in PS-87 (Malir) was postponed after the death of a candidate. 

The recently-formed Pak Sarzameen Party which comprised of MQM-P defectors led by former Karachi mayor Mustafa Kamal, failed to win a single seat in the provincial assembly. 

KP Assembly 

For the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, the ECP declared results of 96 out of 97 seats where the PTI has managed a majority by bagging 65 seats.

The MMA has won 10 seats while the ANP got six and PML-N five seats. 

The PPP only won four seats in the province while six independents also made it to the provincial assembly. 

Polling in two constituencies — PK-78 and PK-99 — was postponed after the death of candidates in terrorist attacks. 

Balochistan Assembly 

The ECP has declared results for all 50 Balochistan Assembly seats that were up for grabs. 

The newly-formed Balochistan Awami Party bagged 15 seats, after which the MMA stands at second place with nine seats. 

The BNP won six seats, the PTI won four seats, whereas the BNP-Awami and ANP got three seats each.

The Pashtoonkhwa Milli Awami Party, PML-N, and Jamhoori Wattan Party secured a seat each, while Hazara Democratic Party got two seats.

A total of five candidates have also been elected as independents. 

Election Day

Millions of Pakistanis stepped out to cast their ballot in Wednesday's election, including women in areas where they previously stood disenfranchised.

Polling began at 8AM across the country's 85,307 polling stations and continued until 6PM, despite calls by several major parties, including PML-N, PPP and PTI, to extend the polling time by an hour.

The parties had complained of “a slow voting process” and thus sought more time to facilitate voters — a request that was dismissed by the ECP.

The election campaign was marred by violence with three candidates killed in targetted attacks in the run-up to the polls, and culminated with a suicide blast outside a polling station in Quetta which claimed at least 31 lives.

As many as 12,570 candidates contested for a total of 849 seats of national and provincial assemblies in the country's 11th General Election.

Polling was postponed on a total of eight seats, including six in provincial assemblies and two NA seats. These include: PS-87 (Malir), PK-78 (Peshawar), PP- 87 (Mianwali), PB-35 (Mastung), PK-99 (Dera Ismail Khan), PP-103 (Faisalabad), NA-103 (Faisalabad) and NA-60 (Rawalpindi).
