Runner Up Candidates (2018 Elections)
The Elections Act 2017 made it mandatory for political parties to issue a minimum number of tickets to women to contest elections. Section 206 of the Act states that a political party shall “ensure at least five per cent representation of women candidates” when it makes the selection of candidates on general seats for national and provincial assemblies.
The 2018 general elections were a “pilot run” for Section 206. A total of 176 women candidates were in the run for general seats of the National Assembly in the 2018 elections. The 2018 number is 21 candidates more than the number of females who contested the 2013 elections and three times higher than the number of women who ran for the 2002 polls.
172 women candidates could not make it to the parliament in the 2018 election. List of runners up women candidate is listed below:
