PTI ahead

A poll conducted by Gallup Pakistan based on data from five separate polls carried out in the months leading up to today's elections forecasts that the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) will likely emerge as the largest party on the national level, but that it will be followed closely by the embattled PML-N in terms of vote.

However, the research organisation concluded that the 12 per cent undecided voters may tilt the balance of the election in Punjab, the country's largest province, thus ultimately determining the fate of the next federal government.

A total of 105.95 million voters will head to polls across the country today to elect their representatives to the National Assembly and the four provincial legislatures.
