With indications that the ruling PML-N and the main opposition PPP will secure almost equal representation in the Senate.

Senate polls

The number of seats each of the two parties is expected to win is 25, but any behind-the-scene move can bolster the position of one of the parties to enable it to clinch the offices of chairman and deputy chairman of the Senate. Analysts believe that the victory of two independents from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — Waqar Ahmad Khan and his brother Ammar Ahmad Khan – would make the PPP the single largest party because their loyalty to the party is an open secret.
