Preliminary results indicate that Shahzad Shaukat’s support was widespread, with significant votes coming in from various regions including Islamabad, Lahore, Bannu, Multan, Abbottabad, Sukkur, Bahawalpur, Dera Ismail Khan, Hyderabad, and Peshawar. However, in the cities of Quetta and Karachi, Abdul Quddus, a candidate from the Hamid Khan Group, led the race.
