Seven candidates are in the running for the Punjab Assembly constituency PP-203 by-election, scheduled for tomorrow (Sunday), with 258,122 registered voters set to elect their representative amid an increasingly active political campaign.
The PP-203 seat fell vacant following the death of PML-N MPA Hanif Jutt, who had been elected to the Punjab Assembly from this constituency after winning a previous by-election on November 25, 2025. According to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), 10 candidates initially submitted nomination papers for the contest. However, three subsequently withdrew, leaving seven candidates in the field.
PML-N candidate Asad Hanif Jutt is contesting on the party ticket with the election symbol of the lion, while Awais Mahmood Gujjar, representing Tehreek-e-Ehsaas Pakistan, has been allotted the streetlight symbol. The remaining five candidates are contesting as independents.
The constituency has a total of 258,122 registered voters, comprising 135,728 men and 122,394 women, according to ECP figures. The number of male voters is therefore higher than that of female voters by 13,334.
For the smooth conduct of polling, the ECP has established 185 polling stations across the constituency.
