The victory notifications of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) candidates in NA-237 Malir and NA-157 Multan, Abdul Hakim Baloch and Ali Musa Gillani respectively, were also issued.
Moreover, the notifications were issued for three Punjab Assembly constituencies including Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz’s (PML-N) successful candidate Iftikhar Bangu from PP-139 Sheikhupura, PTI’s Muhammad Faisal Khan Niazi from PP-209 Khanewal and Malik Muzaffar Khan Awan from PP-241 Bahawalnagar.

Imran Khan made history by emerging victorious on six National Assembly seats on October 16 by-elections.
