PTI Won 6 of the 8 NA Seats
Even though Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf won six of the eight National Assembly seats in the crucial by-election on Sunday, the victory may have been bittersweet for the party because the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) was able to win two seats that the PTI won in the 2018 general elections — NA-157 Multan and NA-237 Karachi.
Khan Bags 6 Constituencies
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM-P), and the Awami National Party (ANP), among other major parties, failed to win even one National Assembly seat, according to preliminary results, as Imran Khan, the PTI’s candidate for seven seats, defeated his rivals in six constituencies.
Out of the three Punjab Assembly seats, PML-N did manage to win one, with PTI taking the other two.
KPK Results
Imran Khan was able to surpass JUI-F and ANP in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The PTI leader defeated the ANP provincial chief Aimal Wali Khan and senior politician Ghulam Ahmed Bilour in Charsadda (NA-24) and Peshawar (NA-31), respectively, by margins of over 10,000 and over 25,000 votes.

Similarly, according to the ECP’s Result Management System, Maulana Qasim of the JUI-F was unsuccessful in winning the NA-22 seat (RMS). The PTI chairman received 76,681 votes, while the JUI-F candidate received 68,181 votes, according to the ECP, which also noted that Mardan’s voter participation was 32.9 percent.
