ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has disqualified 13 political parties from competing for seats in the National Assembly, a spokesperson confirmed. The move impacts party representation in the upcoming assembly significantly.

According to the Election Commission spokesperson, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is likely to secure 20 seats, while the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) is expected to secure 13 seats. The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) is projected to gain five specific seats, while the fate of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) 27 specific seats remains uncertain and subject to the Election Commission’s decision.

Among the 13 parties disqualified from specific seat allocation are Jamaat-e-Islami, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F), Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), Awami National Party (ANP), Islami Party Pakistan, Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, Grand Democratic Alliance, and Milli Muslim League.

The process of allocating specific seats has posed challenges for several parties, including the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q). Additionally, the central Muslim League, National Party, Balochistan Awami Party, and Balochistan National Party have been unable to achieve their desired outcomes.

Among the parties set to receive specific seats, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is anticipated to secure 16 women and four minority seats in the National Assembly. The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) is expected to secure 11 women and two minority seats.
