Islamabad: As per unofficial results, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) has emerged as the largest party in Cantonment Boards' elections across the country with 58 seats.


According to the unofficial preliminary results, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has got 51 seats followed by 49 independent candidates. While, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) managed to win 14 seats and Mutahidda Quomi Movement (MQM) got 10 seats.

Following the victory, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain turned to twitter and said the cantonment boards election results show that the opposition has left with no standing following the crushing defeat.
“The contest in the elections was between the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf ticket holders and the workers, who could not get party tickets and they vied in the polls as independents,” he added.
Fawad further added that results of Cantonment Boards' elections have again proved that PTI is only party of federation which enjoys vote in every nook and corner of the country.
کنٹونمنٹ بورڈز الیکشن میں مقابلہ #PTI کے ٹکٹ ہولڈرز اور ان کارکنان کے درمیان رہا جن کو ٹکٹ نہیں مل سکا، اور انھوں نے آزاد حیثئت میں انتخابات میں حصہ لیا، نتائج نے ظاہر کیا ہے کہ اپوزیشن کی رہی سہی حیثئت بھی ختم ہو چکی ہے اور وہ بری طرح شکست کھا چکے ہیں #بلے_کی_بلےبلے
