## By-election 2021

A by-election was held in this constituency on 29 April 2021. The Election Commission of Pakistan stayed the process for consolidation of result and fixed May 4 as the date for hearing of Pakistan Muslim League (N) candidate, Miftah Ismail’s application seeking a recount of votes. Upon accepting his request, lawmakers were asked by the ECP to reach the office of the returning officer (RO) on May 6 for the recount. On May 6 recounting of votes again started which held until 8 May and in the final result PPP candidate was again declared as the winner with the margin of 909 votes from its rival PML-N. On the other hand, all of the four main political parties (PMLN, PSP, PTI and MQM-Pakistan) boycotted this recount demanding the repoll again in whole constituency.
