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.
