PML-N ticket holders will face independent candidates, while in DG Khan, only allied parties will face each other, and PML-N’s Qadir Khosa and PPP’s Dost Muhammad Khosa will face each other.
The biggest battle will be in NA-18 Haripur, where PTI-backed Shahrnaz will face off against PML-N’s Babar Nawaz Khan.
