However, tickets for Lahore’s PP-170 Constituency and Bahawalpur’s PP-237 Constituency will be announced later.
On May 20, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had de-seated 25 MPAs of the PTI – including 5 lawmakers elected in 2018 on reserved seats – for defying party directives and voting for Hamza Shahbaz for the post of the Punjab Chief Minister.
Therefore, the by-polls on the 20 vacant seats of the Punjab Assembly will be held on July 17.
