      PSP leader and former Mayor Karachi Mustafa Kamal is also contesting the by-polls, along with MQM-P’s Hafiz Muhammad Mursaleen.

      Other notable candidates include;

      • Hazrat Umer — Pakistan Muslim Alliance
      • Khalid Siddiqi — Pasban Pakistan
      • Rehmatullah Khan — Aam Loeg Ittehad
      • Muhammad Adil — Pakistan Rah-e-Haq Party
      • Muhammad Wali — Pakistan Falah Party
      • 18 independent candidates

      NA-249 constituency has a total population of 782,776 of which only 43% i.e. 339,591 are registered voters. The constituency is plagued with water shortage and lack of infrastructure, and include various localities including Abidabad, Islam Nagar, Gulshan-e-Ghazi, Dehli Colony, Kumhar Wara, Gujrat Colony, Turk Colony, Jam Nagar, Rasheedabad, Hussani Nagar, Anjaam Colony, Junagarh Muhallah, Kokan Colony, Afridi Colony, Ghous Nagar, Muslim Mujahid Colony, Madina Colony, Saeedabad, New Abadi, New Saeedabad, Qaim Khani colony and Ittehad Town from District Keamari and Islam Nagar, Khyber Colony and Mujahid Colony of Mominabad from District West.

      It is to be noted that NA-249 seat was vacated after PTI’s Faisal Vawda resigned from the National Assembly’s seat on March 3rd. He had given up the NA seat in order to contest in the recent Senate elections.

      Faisal Vawda had won the NA-249 seat in 2018 General Elections by securing 35,349 votes against Shehbaz Sharif’s 34,626 and Abid Hussain’s (TLP) 23,981 votes.
