Despite initially securing an equal number of seats, independent candidates aligning with the PPP and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) altered the political landscape.

Consequently, while the PPP and PML-N surpassed the JUI-F in seat count, the PML-N opted not to forge a coalition with JUI-F.

Instead, they expressed readiness to share power with the PPP in Balochistan, underscoring the evolving dynamics of provincial governance.
