Maryam Nawaz, Saiful Malook Khokhar, Khawaja Asif  of the PML-N and Aleem Khan of IPP face writ petitions and challenges in the Lahore High Court by their political rivals.

Rehana Dar has named Khawaja Asif, the returning officer, and the Election Commission among the respondents in her petition.

The unofficial results show that Nawaz trails in Lahore; Shehbaz is ahead in both NA seats while Bilawal takes lead. The results got delayed despite promise of the ECP regarding announcement within 30 minutes.

Pakistan Muslim League (N) candidate Chaudhry Abid Raza has won NA-71 with 88588 votes.
