Elections 2018: Results Management System
A latest survey on the upcoming elections shows PML-N and PTI in neck and neck fight without any clear winner thus portraying a scenario of a hung parliament, as the majority of the population believes Pakistan is heading in the wrong direction. However, the number of respondents who expressed the intention to vote this time has increased from 76% in 2013 to 82% in 2018.
The countrywide survey was conducted by the Institute of Public Opinion Research (IPOR) in collaboration with an American firm, Global Strategic Partners.
Opinion: Will the PML-N survive?
There is a consensus among the pollsters in Pakistan that 35% vote is a minimum threshold to determine which party takes a lead in countrywide elections and right now there is none. However, the PTI has gained popularity from 27% in November 2017 to 29% in July 2018 whereas the PML-N has lost from 37% to 32% in the corresponding period and the PPP’s position has remained the same (13%).
Key contests to watch out for
We have selected 42 constituencies from where most of the party heads and senior leaders are contesting.
