According to unofficial results from all 348 polling stations in NA-43 Tank, Kundi secured 64,483 votes, narrowly defeating his closest challenger, Mufti Asad Hammood of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI), who garnered 63,900 votes.

On February 8, due to security concerns in NA-43 Tank Constituency, Dera Ismail Khan, polling at six stations was postponed.

The polling process resumed today at 8 am and continued till 5 pm without break, with strict security measures in place, including the deployment of Pakistan Army troops.

Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced forming an alliance with Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) to form governments in the Centre, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

The decision was announced by PTI acting chairman Barrister Gohar Khan in a press conference along with MWM chairman Allama Raja Nasir Abbas and SIC chairperson Sahibzada Hamid Raza at PTI's central secretariat in Islamabad.

The PTI-supported candidates, who won elections on the National and Provincial assemblies seats, will join SIC to get reserved seats for women and minorities. 

“Our candidates have submitted their affidavits with us and with their consent today we are announcing that PTI-supported independents are joining the Sunni Ittehad Council,” Gohar said in a presser.
