According to provisional results, the PML-N swept all six National Assembly seats and won six of seven Punjab Assembly seats, Dawn reported. The PPP, which contested only three of the 13 constituencies, secured one provincial seat. Most of the seats had been vacated after PTI lawmakers were disqualified in May 9 cases.
