Which party would people vote for if elections are held today?

A survey held by Gallup Pakistan has revealed which party people would vote for if elections are held today.

Surprisingly — or not? — a majority of the people (22%) were not sure of what their choice would be.

Setting that lot aside, 17% of the people responded by saying they would vote for PTI, 13% said they would support PML-N and 13% picked PPP.

MQM-P were not far behind with 12% of the vote.

JUI-F got 4%, PSP 3%, whereas MMA and independent candidates got 1% of the vote each.

The remaining 13% chose "others" among the options given.

The survey consisted of face-to-face interviews of 535 people taken between October 27 and November 17.

Will you vote?

When asked whether they would even engage in the exercise, 64% said yes while 36% said no, indicating that every 6 out of 10 people are ready and willing to use their democratic right to vote.
