ISLAMABAD; The Punjab Election Commission has published provisional lists of candidates for the upcoming by-elections in three key constituencies: NA-129 Lahore, NA-66 Wazirabad, and PP-87 Mianwali.
The preliminary data indicates a strong contest ahead, with dozens of aspirants entering the race:
- NA-129 Lahore: 27 candidates
- NA-66 Wazirabad: 30 candidates
- PP-87 Mianwali: 19 candidates
These by-elections have been triggered by various causes: the passing of veteran politician Mian Muhammad Azhar (NA-129), and the disqualifications of Muhammad Ahmad Chattha (NA-66) and Malik Ahmad Khan Bhachar (PP-87).
As per the Election Commission of Pakistan’s schedule, a final list of candidates will be confirmed following the scrutiny and appeals process. Election symbols are set to be allotted on August 26, and polling across all three constituencies is scheduled for September 18.
