Background

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province has a diverse population, with various ethnic groups, including the Pashtuns, Hindkis, and Chitralis. The province has been affected by the War in North-West Pakistan, which has led to the displacement of many people and the destruction of infrastructure. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has been active in the region, and the Pakistan Army has been involved in operations against the group, including the Rah-e-Nijat operation. The election was seen as an opportunity for the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to choose their representatives and shape the future of the province. The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) was responsible for conducting the election, with the support of the Pakistan Army and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had set up polling stations across the province, and the voters were able to cast their votes for their preferred candidates.
