This Lahore constituency elected Nawaz Sharif thrice since 1990. His wife Kulsoom Nawaz is contesting the seat for the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
After her husband’s incarceration following the military coup by General Pervez Musharraf in 1999, Kulsoom had led the party though she never contested elections.
For the first time in Pakistan, Biometric Voter Verification Machines are being tested. More than 100 of these machines have been installed at 39 polling stations.
