On May 11, 2013, Pakistan held by-elections to fill 10 vacant seats in each of the four provincial assemblies and 29 vacant seats in the country's National Assembly. Following the 2013 general elections, in which the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) won the most seats in the National Assembly (166), the elections were held. [2]
The 2013 Pakistani by-elections were held for 15 various seats in the National Assembly and four provincial assemblies. The by-elections were held to fill the seats vacated by the death, resignation, or disqualification of the elected representatives.
The PML-N government had been in power for a little over a year, and the by-elections were widely considered as a referendum on its performance. 18 of the 29 seats in the National Assembly and 7 of the 10 open seats in the provincial assemblies were won by the PML-N. Six seats in the National Assembly and two in the provincial assemblies were gained by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) won 2 National Assembly seats.
Allegations of rigging and violence plagued the by-elections. Violence associated with the elections claimed at least 12 lives. Due to irregularities, the Pakistani Election Commission (ECP) rejected the results for two National Assembly seats.
The PML-N's position in the government was bolstered by the results of the by-elections, which gave it a solid majority in the National Assembly. The violence and claims of vote-rigging, however, cast a shadow over the polls and called into doubt the legitimacy of Pakistan's electoral system.
On May 11, 2013, there were general elections. In the National Assembly, the PML-N gained 166 members, followed by the PPP with 33 seats and the MQM with 26 seats. PTI won 25 seats, or Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
The 29 seats in the National Assembly and the 10 seats in the provincial assemblies up for grabs in the by-elections were vacated for a number of reasons, including as the demise of the incumbent member, their resignation, or their disqualification.

The Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) (Urdu: پاکستان مسلم لیگ (ن), romanized: Pākistān Muslim Līg (Nūn)abbr.PML(N) or PML-N) is a centre-right, liberal conservative political party in Pakistan. It is currently the third-largest party in the Senate. The party was founded in 1993, when a number of prominent conservative politicians in the country joined hands after the dissolution of Islamic Democratic Alliance, under the leadership of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The party's platform is generally conservative, which involves supporting free markets, deregulation, lower taxes and private ownership. Although the party historically supported social conservatism, in recent years, the party's political ideology and platform has become more liberal on social and cultural issues; however, members have been accused of using Islamist populist rhetoric. Alongside the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), it is one of the three major political parties of the country.
Since its establishment in 1947, Pakistan has had an asymmetric federal government and is a federal parliamentary democratic republic. At the national level, the people of Pakistan elect a bicameral legislature, the Parliament of Pakistan. The parliament consists of a lower house called the National Assembly, which is elected directly, and an upper house called the Senate, whose members are chosen by elected provincial legislators. The head of government, the Prime Minister, is elected by the majority members of the National Assembly and the head of state, the President, is elected by the Electoral College, which consists of both houses of Parliament together with the four provincial assemblies. In addition to the national parliament and the provincial assemblies, Pakistan also has more than five thousand elected local governments.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is a political party in Pakistan. It was founded in 1996 by Pakistani cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan, who served as the country's prime minister from 2018 to 2022. The PTI is one of the three major Pakistani political parties alongside the Pakistan Muslim League–Nawaz (PML–N) and the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), and it is the largest party in terms of representation in the National Assembly of Pakistan since the 2018 general election. With over 10 million members in Pakistan and abroad, it claims to be the country's largest political party by primary membership as well as one of the largest political parties in the world.
