The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Friday issued a schedule for Senate elections on 11 seats from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), with the polling to be held on July 21.
According to a notification issued here, the elections will be held for seven general, two women, and as many technocrat/ulema seats from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The polling has been fixed for July 21, 2025, at the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly building.
It may be noted that the elections, originally postponed on April 2, 2024, were postponed moments before the polling.
The ECP maintained that the elections were postponed due to the speaker Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly’s ‘failure’ to administer oaths to members elected on reserved seats and an incomplete electoral college.
The ECP issued the elections schedule following the completion of the electoral college on basis of the Supreme Court of Pakistan’s decision on the reserved seats case.
The Maulana Fazlur Rehman-led Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl secured eight reserved seats for women in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly while PML-N secured six seats for women. The PPP has been allocated five seats for women while Awami National Party (ANP) and PTI-Parliamentarians have each secured one reserved seat for women.
