Background

In the 2013 elections, the PTI emerged as the largest party in the province. The Pashtun nationalist and socialist Awami National Party (ANP) was reduced to only 1 seat because of allegations of corruption and poor leadership. [2]

In 2017, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) (JUI-F) announced to restore Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, an electoral alliance of Islamist Parties. [3] This alliance was created to reduce vote bank of the PTI.

In May 2018, JI pulled out its support for the PTI-led provincial government just before the General Elections. [4] They blamed the PTI for the fact that JI was asked for support in the elections for the Chairman of the Senate. This statement was strongly condemned by the PTI. [5]

Imran Khan, the chairman of the PTI, showed support for a merger of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He also demanded to close the FATA Secretariat and also threatened to start a countrywide protest if FATA was not merged. [6] The goal of merging FATA with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was to ensure the function of Law enforcement authorities like the Judiciary and Police, Bureaucracy and other Provincial and Federal institutions like Health, Local Government, and Education may also function in the region like in the rest of Pakistan. [7]

JUI(F) strongly condemned this merger but many political parties including the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa showed support for a future merger. [8] [9]

In May 2018, FATA was merged with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with the approval of legislators in the Parliament, Provincial Assembly and the President. [10] [11]

The seats for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the National Assembly were increased from 35 to 39 general seats and from 8 to 10 reserved seats for women due to the 2017 Census of Pakistan. [12] After the merger of FATA with the province, its seats were further increased to 51.

Campaign

After the dissolution of the National Assembly and the Provincial Assembly, political parties started their election campaigns in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) launched its campaign in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by contesting every seat except for NA-50 (South Waziristan-II). Imran Khan, the chairman of the PTI, announced that he would be contesting from NA-35 (Bannu). [13] The PTI also expelled 20 MPAs from the party for selling their votes in the Senate Elections, which increased their popularity. [14] The PTI enjoyed massive crowds in their political rallies in Peshawar, Mardan, Swabi, Charsadda, Swat, Bannu, Abbottabad and Haripur. [15] Opinion surveys showed that the PTI would emerge highly successful in not only Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but also in Hazara Division, which was considered as a strong hold of the PML(N). [16]

Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal

Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) started its campaign by contesting 47 seats in the province. Fazal-ur-Rehman, president of the MMA, contested from NA-38 (Dera Ismail Khan-I) and NA-39 (Dera Ismail Khan-II), while Siraj-ul Haq, leader of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) and Deputy Leader of the MMA, contested from NA-7 (Lower Dir-II). In NA-3 (Swat-II), the MMA announced its support for Shehbaz Sharif, a candidate of the PML(N). [17]

The MMA held large political rallies in Malakand and Peshawar. [18]

Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz)

The Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML(N)) contested 42 seats. Shehbaz Sharif, leader of the PML(N), contested NA-3 (Swat-II) and Provincial President Amir Muqam contested NA-2 (Swat-I) and NA-29 (Peshawar-III). [19]

The PML(N) held rallies in Mardan, Swat, Mansehra and Haripur. [20] [21]

Awami National Party

The Awami National Party (ANP), a Pashtun nationalist and socialist party, contested 41 Seats in the province under the leadership of Asfandyar Wali Khan. Khan Contested NA-24 (Charsadda-II) while other seniors leaders, such as Ghulam Ahmed Bilour and Haider Khan Hoti contested from NA-31 (Peshawar-V) and NA-21 (Mardan-II), respectively. [22]

Other Political Parties

Other smaller and regional parties also launched their campaigns a well. Aftab Ahmed Sherpao, leader of the Qaumi Watan Party (QWP), contested from NA-23 (Charsadda-I). [23] Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), contested from NA-8 (Malakand). [24]

For the first time, political parties started campaigns in the former Tribal Districts. The people living in these districts gave positive response to political workers and National Assembly candidates. [25]
