The 16th National Assembly of Pakistan is the legislature of Pakistan following the 2024 general election of members of the National Assembly of Pakistan, the lower house of the bicameral Parliament of Pakistan. The National Assembly is a democratically elected body which consists of 336 members during the 2024–2029 tenure, the members are referred to as Members of the National Assembly (MNAs), of which 266 are directly elected members; 60 reserved seats for women and religious minorities are allocated to the political parties according to their proportion of the total vote.[1]
The legislature was formed following the elections in February 2024 which resulted in Independent politicians backed by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) being the single-largest faction in the assembly, holding 93 seats, with Independents total holding 101 seats.[2] A majority of Independent politicians backed by PTI declared the election as rigged, following this, they declared their affiliation under the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) as a parliamentary vehicle, as PTI was unable to officially have a presence in the assembly due to the Election Commission of Pakistan.[3] This resulted in the Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N) becoming the single-largest party officially. The assembly has seen no party hold an outright majority, hence the PML-N has formed a coalition government with support from the MQM-P, NP, IPP and BAP while the 68-seat Pakistan People's Party (PPP) has declared Confidence and supply to the coalition government.
The assembly saw the transfer of the 60 women and minorities reserve seats excluding PTI-backed SIC due to legal issues regarding the filing of nomination papers.[4] This decision by the Election Commission of Pakistan resulted in the Reserved seats case in which the Supreme Court of Pakistan officially suspended 24 reserved seats in the assembly, making them vacant. The Supreme Court also recognized PTI as a party holding 39 seats, undoing the Election Commission's actions.
