Punjab Assembly’s new seat distribution impacts party standings

ISLAMABAD: Despite the Sunni Ittehad Council gaining these seats, the government alliance, led by PML-N, continues to hold a substantial majority.

The total number of seats for the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in the Punjab Assembly has now reached 205. This includes 164 general seats, 5 seats reserved for minorities, and 36 seats for women.

The Sunni Ittehad Council, which previously had 104 members, now has a total of 131 seats after the addition of the reserved seats. This increase, however, still leaves them behind the PML-N in terms of overall strength.

The Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) has a total of 14 seats in the Punjab Assembly. This includes 10 general seats, 1 seat from an independent member who joined them, and 3 seats reserved for women.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) holds 10 seats, which includes 8 general seats and 2 seats reserved for women.

The Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) has a total of 6 seats, including 5 general seats and 1 seat reserved for women.

The Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), the Pakistan Muslim League-Zia (PML-Z), and the Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) each have one seat in the Punjab Assembly.

The Punjab Assembly, with a total of 371 seats, now has 369 members after the inclusion of the reserved seats. One constituency, PP-269, has yet to hold an election. Additionally, Mian Aslam Iqbal, the successful candidate from the Sunni Ittehad Council in Constituency 171 of Lahore, has not yet taken his oath.
