The News International has conducted an interview regarding Election 2024 with Tariq Junaid, the executive director of the Institute of Public Opinion Research (IPOR). He responded to the above mentioned statement as the seats won by PMLN in 2018 are largely intact" . IPOR is presently engaged with the PMLN for conducting surveys of different constituencies in order to decide the best candidates for elections. In Lahore and Gujranwala divisions, the party will likely retain the seats it won in 2018, he said, explaining ground situation at present.
