Background

In the 2013 elections, the PML(N) emerged as the largest party in Punjab, achieving a landslide victory with 116 of 148 seats. The PTI, a relatively newer party, emerged as the second largest party with 8 seats. On the other hand, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League (Q) (PML(Q)), both of which had large presences in the province after the 2008 elections, were both reduced to just 2 seats each.[1]

Prior to these elections, the PTI and PML(Q) made a seat adjustment agreement between them on four seats of the National Assembly. These were NA-65 (Chakwal-II), NA-68 (Gujrat-I), NA-69 (Gujrat-II) and NA-172 (Bahawalpur-III).[2]
