NA-43
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-supported candidate Dawar Kundi has secured victory in the NA-43 Tank constituency, according to unofficial results from all 348 polling stations. Kundi garnered 64,483 votes, narrowly defeating his closest rival, Mufti Asad Hammood of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI), who received 63,900 votes.
The polling process in NA-43 Tank, Dera Ismail Khan, had faced security concerns, leading to the postponement of voting at six stations on February 8. The resumed polling, which took place from 8 am to 5 pm with strict security measures and Pakistan Army troop deployment, resulted in Kundi’s triumph.
