Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) finally released the official results of the 11th General election of Pakistan which held on 25th July 2018. It almost took 56 hours to announce the final stats in which ECP confirms the victory of Pakistan Threek-e-Insaf and the overall figure showed that this political party is the largest political party in Pakistan right now.
According to the official announcement of ECP, out of 270 seats, Pakistan Threek-e-Insaf has won 115 seats of National Assembly. To make the government PTI still relay on independent seats because according to law one member can only take one seat and has to give up other seats. Few of the members contested from multiple seats but they need to give them up and only take one, for that PTI will collaborate with independent candidates and other parties as well like PML-Q, BAP, and GDA.

On the other hand, Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) got 12 seats and MQM-P got only 6 seats. Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) has won 4 seats while Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) won only 2 seats.
