value as 342 candidates are chosen by using three strategies. 272
candidates will be chosen in single-member constituencies through balloting by voters.

majority, a political party or alliance would need to take 137 seats.

PPP is the largest party in Sindh from decades. It also won 91 provincial
assembly seats in 2013 provincial elections. However, MQM Pakistan got the
second position and secured 51 seats.
PPP was easily able to create a government in Sindh for the ninth occasion.

elections 2018 as MQM is divided into different factions. Pak
Sarzameen Party (PSP), MQM-PIB, MQM-Bahadurabad is now the different factions
of MQM. In addition, PTI is also looking to gain seats from Sindh. Election Result

the people in the province. On the others side, PML-N’s elected members from Southern
Punjab joined PTI. Political analysts are expecting a tough competition between
PML-N and PTI in the Southern Punjab. Many candidates from PML (N) have already
joined PTI, while some of the candidate’s nomination papers are being rejected by
ECP. Fierce election campaigns are being carried out, and all competing parties
are having war of words. Election Result 2018 will be of huge significance
in all constituencies of Punjab.
Baluchistan is the largest province of Pakistan by area but it has the lowest provincial
assembly seats. Political parties usually made the coalition government in
Baluchistan as they normally fail to win the majority of seats. It is expected that
the Baluchistan Provincial Election 2018 result will also enforce political parties
to make the coalition government.
In 2013, PML-N, National Party, and Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party
(PkMAP) formed a coalition government. Abdul Malik Baloch from the National Party
became the CM Baluchistan and served till 2015. However, PML-N’s Sanaulah Khan Zehri
replaced him in 2015.

Baluchistan Provincial Election 2018.

government of PTI. In 2013, PTI came out as the leading political party in
KPK and ruled the province for the first time in its history. They won 48 KPK assembly
seat and formed the coalition government with Jamaat-e-Islami and Qaumi
Watan Party.
PTI end the coalition with Qaumi Watan Party in 2016. In addition, Jamaat-e-Islami
also left the coalition few days before the end of government’s tenure.
KPK have elected different political parties in different elections. MMA,
ANP, and PTI are emerged as leading parties in the 2002, 2008, and 2013 elections
respectively. However, it is difficult to tell the Election Result 2018

provincial government.
