ISLAMABAD: Major political parties including Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) witnessed an increase in their vote bank in the 2024 general elections, according to a report published by the Free and Fair Election Network (FAFEN).
On February 8, Pakistan conducted its 10th general elections after over five years which saw about 60 million citizens exercising their right to vote to elect their representatives in the 265 National Assembly and 590 provincial assembly constituencies.
According to FAFEN, PML-N and PPP increased their vote banks while Imran Khan-founded Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) retained its vote bank in the elections.
“This calculation is based on the results of 235 NA constituencies. PTI-backed candidates secured 16.85 million votes compared to the party’s tally of 16.9 million votes in 2018. PML-N increased its share of votes from 12.9 million in 2018 to 13.3 million in 2024 and PPPP’s share increased from 6.9 million in 2018 to 7.6 million in 2024,” said the report.
Meanwhile, Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan’s (TLP) share has gone slightly up from 2.1 million in 2018 to 2.6 million in 2024.
