Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) top brass has voiced its contentment with the outcome of Sunday's by-elections. Giving his reaction to a private Tv news channel, prominent PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah expressed his party's satisfaction with the voter turnout during the by-elections, highlighting a noticeable absence of PTI supporters at the polling stations. Sanaullah underscored that while the PML-N has consistently accepted electoral results, it has also diligently raised objections through proper channels. In contrast, he criticised PTI's approach, accusing its founder, Imran Khan, of attempting to undermine the electoral process. The seasoned politician emphasised that despite the traditionally low voter turnout in by-polls, the PML-N was gratified by the level of participation and the ongoing issuance of Form 45 from all polling stations. Addressing potential concerns, Sanaullah asserted that any irregularities observed during the polling would be promptly addressed through formal complaints. Furthermore, he extended an olive branch to PTI, urging the party to collaborate with PML-N in identifying and rectifying flaws within the electoral system.

Reflecting on the broader political landscape, Sanaullah expressed willingness to engage in dialogue with other parties, including the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), to resolve pertinent issues. The PML-N's stance on the by-elections serves as a significant marker in Pakistan's political discourse, signalling both their commitment to democratic processes and their readiness to engage in constructive dialogue for the betterment of the nation.
