The by-poll followed month-long campaigning by two major political parties including Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N). In PK-30, the ECP had declared 85 polling stations as sensitive and installed Close Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras inside polling booths. PTI’s Syed Ahmed Hussain Shah won the by-election by securing 46,438 votes, making 51 per cent of the polled votes, while PML-N’s Syed Mazhar Ali Qasim Shah secured 39,945 votes, totalling 44 per cent votes. According to the Provisional Consolidated Statement of the Result of the Count (Form-47), a total of 1,187 votes, that makes one per cent votes, were excluded from the count. For this report, FAFEN analysed the checklists received from 55 of the total 186 polling stations set up for the by-election.
