Independent candidates in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have secured more than 84 seats in the KP assembly. JUIF won seven seats and PMLN won 5 seats in the election.
Other candidates such as Mahmood Khan Achakzai, Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, and a few others have admitted that PTI-backed candidates won from their respective candidates and that they should be given their due mandate.
Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) defied a months-long crackdown that crippled campaigning and forced candidates to run as independents to emerge as the winners of the vote.
Khan — who is currently in prison — and his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party were blocked from running in the election, so the supporters of Khan had to run as independents.
