The Pakistan Muslim League (Q) (PML-Q) came first. Aslam Raisani, from the Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians (PPPP), was elected unopposed as the Chief Minister.[1]
These elections were boycotted by the Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PMAP) in opposition to General Musharraf's rule.[2][3] The National Party (NP) also boycotted the elections for the same reason, but a faction ran as NP Parliamentarians, and won 1 seat.
