As it managed to retain almost all national seats from Rawalpindi and Murree, the PML-N also clinched nine out of 14 Punjab Assembly seats from these districts, effectively cementing the party’s hold on its bastion of the garrison city. The rest of the five seats went to PTI-backed independent candidates and a Majlis Wahdatul Muslimeen nominee.

In 2018, there were 15 seats in Rawalpindi while in 2024 general elections, the number of seats was reduced to 13 for Rawalpindi and one for Murree — a newly created district — after the new delimitation exercise.

In complete contrast to these election results, the PTI had bagged 14 seats out of 15 in the 2018 polls, whereas one seat went to then-disgruntled PML-N leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan.

According to the unofficial results issued by ECP, PML-N candidates Muhammad Bilal Yamin won PP-6 (Rawalpindi I) in Murree, Shaukat Raja won PP-9 (Rawalpindi-III) in Gujar Khan, Naeem Ejaz won PP-10 (Rawalpindi IV), Imran Ilyas Ch bagged PP-11 (Rawalpindi V) in Taxila, Mohsin Ayub Khan clinched PP-12 (Rawalpindi VI) in Taxila, Malik Iftikhar Ahmad won PP-14 (Rawalpindi VIII), Malik Mansoor Afsar bagged PP-15 (Rawalpindi IX), Ziaullah Shah won PP-16, (Rawalpindi X), and Abdul Latif won PP-17.
