The PML-N has become the largest political party in the National Assembly, with the number of its MNAs surging by 16 to 123 following the distribution of reserved seats — denied to the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) — among three political parties.

The most interesting distribution of reserved seats has been observed in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ass­embly, where PTI-backed independents had won 91 seats compared to just 19 seats secured by all other political parties combined.
