It is pertinent to mention that Mian Akram Usman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) contested Rana Ahsan Sharafat of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in the PP-158 (Lahore) constituency.

Earlier, there were reports of clashes and arrests in the by-elections.

The results of the by-polls would be essential for the CM vote count, ordered by the Supreme Court (SC), in the Punjab Assembly in July 2022.

The ruling PML-N needs to win a total of 11 seats in today’s by-elections to gain a majority to elect their chief minister in the biggest province of the country.
