Election 2024
General elections were held on 10 February 2024.
Independent journalists such as Secunder Kermani expected PTI-backed independent Salman Akram Raja to overwhelmingly win the seat, on the basis of voter interviews.{{Cite web | title=Archived copy | url=https://twitter.com/SecKermani/status/1755878571489263654 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240217124529/https://twitter.com/SecKermani/status/1755878571489263654 | archive-date=2024-02-17}} However, while Form 45 from the Election Commission of Pakistan showed Raja with a decisive lead, Form 47 reported Aun Chaudhry of Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party as having won 172,576 votes to Raja's 159,024 votes. Raja, PTI supporters, and independent journalists claimed the ECP Form 47 results showed clear evidence of rigging by the Pakistan Army, and the Lahore High Court issued a stay on a final declaration of the results by ECP until a hearing could be fixed to investigate the matter.{{Cite web |date=2024-02-09 |title=LHC bars ECP from issuing NA-128 results on Salman Akram Raja's plea |url=https://www.brecorder.com/news/40288118 |access-date=2024-03-08 |website=Brecorder |language=en}}https://twitter.com/umairjav/status/1755876047663321413{{Dead link | date=June 2025 | fix-attempted=yes}} The ECP had officially withdrawn the notification of Chaudhry's victory, but published it again a couple of days later.{{Cite web |title=Election Commission of Pakistan |url=https://ecp.gov.pk/notification-and-detailed-result-regarding-returned-candidate-na-128-lahore-xii |access-date=2024-03-08 |website=ecp.gov.pk}}{{Cite web |date=2024-02-16 |title=ECP withdraws Aun Ch's victory notification on NA-128 |url=https://www.nation.com.pk/16-Feb-2024/ecp-withdraws-aun-ch-s-victory-notification-on-na-128 |access-date=2024-03-08 |website=The Nation |language=en-US}}
