By-elections were held on 8 National Assembly and 3 Punjab Assembly constituencies in Pakistan on 16 October 2022 and 1 National Assembly seat on 30 October 2022.

The by-elections were held on the following seats: NA-22 (Mardan-III), NA-24 (Charsadda-II), NA-31 (Peshawar-V), NA-45 (Kurram-I), NA-108 (Faisalabad-VIII), NA-118 (Nankana Sahib-II), NA-157 (Multan-IV), NA 237 (Malir-II), and NA-239 (Korangi Karachi-I). [4] [5] [6]

Background

After the removal of Prime Minister Imran Khan through a successful vote of no-confidence, 123 MNAs of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), along with Imran Khan and several former ministers resigned from the National Assembly of Pakistan. Although the Deputy Speaker at the time, Qasim Suri, accepted said resignations, he soon resigned from the National Assembly as well. elected Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf summoned PTI MNAs to individually verify their resignations but no one appeared. On 29 July 2022, 11 of these resignations were accepted. Nine of these 11 were general seats whose members were directly elected and a further seven of these nine were for constituencies where the PTI candidate's margin of victory was extremely slim. Abdul Shakoor Shad, the MNA from NA-246 (Karachi South-I), went to the Islamabad high Court and had his resignation suspended. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

The PTI MNA from NA-157 (Multan-IV), Zain Hussain Qureshi, also resigned with the rest of his party, but his resignation was not accepted. However, he ceased to be an MNA when he took oath as a member of the Provincial Assembly of Punjab on 18 July 2022.

One seat, NA-45 (Kurram-I), was also vacated, but the by-election for it was postponed till 30 October due to the deterioration of the law and order situation in the constituency.

Therefore, by-elections for 8 National Assembly constituencies were scheduled by the Election Commission of Pakistan for 16 October 2022, whereas the by-election for NA-45 was held on 30 October 2022. [12]

Candidates

According to Election Commission of Pakistan 90 candidates ran for 8 National Assembly and 3 Punjab Assembly seats. Registered voters in these 11 Constituencies were 4,506,124 out of which 2,467,856 were male and 2,038,268 were female. 2,937 polling stations were created in these constituencies out of which 1416 were combined polling stations, 807 for males and remaining 714 for female. 747 polling station were considered high sensitive and 694 were considered sensitive for security reasons. 9,869 polling booths were created: 5,294 male and 4,575 female.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2018 Pakistani general election</span>

General elections were held in Pakistan on 25 July 2018 to elect the members of the 15th National Assembly and the four Provincial Assemblies. The three major parties were Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), led by Imran Khan, the Pakistan Muslim League, led by Shehbaz Sharif, and the Pakistan People's Party, led by Bilawal Bhutto. The PTI won the most seats in the National Assembly but fell short of a majority; the party subsequently formed a coalition government with several smaller parties. At the provincial level, the PTI remained the largest party in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP); the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) retained its dominance in Sindh; and the newly formed Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) emerged as the largest party in Balochistan. In Punjab, the result was a hung parliament, with the Pakistan Muslim League (N) winning the most seats. However, after several independent MPAs joined the PTI, the latter became the largest party and was able to form a government.
