Tareen won the seat with more than 1.17 lac votes while PML-N’s Siddique Baloch could only manage 73,247 votes. Overall polling situation on December 23 remained in control owing to Pakistan Army and other law enforcement agencies.
A re-poll was ordered in the constituency by election tribunal after Siddique Baloch was denotified in August for possession of fake academic credentials. Baloch had won the seat in the General Elections 2013 as an independent candidate and got himself associated with PML-N afterwards.
