The race for the 20 seats in Punjab's provincial assembly is heating up as the July 17th control of the assembly hangs in the balance.

The PPP has held the seat since 2008, when Imtiaz Hussain first won election to the Punjab Assembly. He was re-elected in 2013 and again in 2018.
The PTI had been hoping to make inroads into the PPP's traditional stronghold in Punjab, but was unable to do so in this by-election.
