The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has notified the winners for 36 National Assembly seats in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
The ECP, in a notification issued here, has asked the returned candidates to affiliate with a political party of their choice within the next three days.
Among the declared victors are Sibghatullah from NA-4 Upper Dir, Gohar Ali Khan from NA-10 Buner, and Umar Ayub from NA-18 Haripur.
The notification affirmed Asad Qaiser’s success in NA-19 Swabi and Shandana Gulzar’s victory in NA-30 Peshawar. Shehryar Afridi clinched victory in NA-35 Kohat, while Sher Afzal Marwat secured success in NA-41 Lakky Marwat.
Additionally, the notification underscored the victories of a member each from the Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N), Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), and MWM in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
The province contributed 45 seats to the National Assembly, including 10 reserved for women.
More than 101 independent candidates — most of them backed by PTI — have won NA seats, according to unofficial results. However, notifications of many independent candidates were still pending.
Raja Khurram Nawaz, representing NA-48 (Islamabad) was the first independent candidate to be officially declared a returned candidate.
His notification was issued on February 12, just two days after publicly announcing his affiliation with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
On the same day, the election commission also released notifications for the results of the remaining two National Assembly constituencies in Islamabad. These declarations confirmed the victories of PML candidates Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry and Anjum Aqeel Khan.
