In the latest development in the Punjab Assembly, the allocation of 27 reserved and minority seats has significantly impacted the party positions.
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.
