They obtained 313 out of 371 total seats, giving them a comfortable 4/5 majority in the assembly.

They were followed by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, which held only 30 seats. This election was notable for the downfall of the Pakistan Peoples Party and the Pakistan Muslim League (Q), which both held 106 and 79 seats respectively before the election and were reduced to merely 8 seats each, due to the rise of PTI and PML (N), although the sheer numbers that the PML (N) held in the assembly shocked many analysts.From the Newspaper https://www.dawn.com/news/1027198 The election score Dawn News Shehbaz Sharif, brother of PML (N) chairman and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, became chief minister for the third time in his life, securing over 300 votes in the assembly.Web Desk https://tribune.com.pk/story/559678/shahbaz-sharif-elected-punjab-chief-minister/ Shahbaz Sharif takes oath as Punjab chief minister The Express Tribune Notes References Category:2013 elections in Pakistan 2013
