Contest overview

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's candidate Salim Rehman had been elected member of National Assembly previously from NA-30 (Swat-II) (now NA-2 (Swat-I)) and he was up against former Chief Minister (CM) of Punjab Shehbaz Sharif who is also the president of Pakistan Muslim League (N) and has been CM Punjab thrice. Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal initially considered Hujjatullah as its candidate but decided not to field him in support of Sharif.^[5] Disagreeing with that, Hujjatullah decided to run independently.^[6] Rehman also ran in the 2002 election as a Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians candidate from NA-30 (Swat-II) and then in 2008 from this very constituency which was then NA-29 (Swat-I), losing both times.
