The vote count for the by-election on a vacant seat of National Assembly NA-154, is in progress.
The balloting for the key by-poll began at 9am and continued without any break till 5 in the evening.
The National Assembly seat fell vacant in the wake of the disqualification of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Tareen by the Supreme Court in December 2017.
The government had deployed 4,000 security personnel, including army personnel, in the constituency in view of avoiding any unforeseen development and to ensure free and fair conduct.
The PTI has fielded Jahangir’s son Ali Tareen, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Iqbal Shah and Pakistan Peoples’ Party Mirza Mohammad Ali Baig. Seven other candidates are contesting as independents.

This will hurt pti.
I have my doubts till 50% is revealed exit polls were in their favor but such close calls can go either way
Waisay zibago such batao. How do you think pti will fair in 2018?
I was always for more seats but I am thinking that pti may lose a few in Punjab and gain a few in kpk with govt in kpk and Imran this time will contest as MPA and try to become cm kpk.
