[4] After the results were declared, much of the focus was on the Islamabad General seat won by PPP's Yousaf Raza Gillani where he beat PTI's incumbent finance minister, Abdul Hafeez Shaikh, by a margin of 5 votes.

This fact, coupled with the leaked video of his son, led to PTI petitioning the Election Commission of Pakistan against his victory.

[6] Meanwhile, Gurdeep Singh of the PTI became the first Sikh to be elected to the Senate of Pakistan as he won the minority seat from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

[7] Abdul Qadir, who had won as an Independent from Balochistan, later joined the PTI, increasing the tally of the party to 26 in the Senate.

They replaced Sadiq Sanjrani of the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) and Mirza Muhammad Afridi of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
