Both Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) managed to get representation in the Senate according to their numerical strengths as all candidates of both the parties were elected unopposed on 11 Punjab seats on Thursday, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Similarly, both PTI and the PML-N got one seat each of a technocrat. Likewise, both the parties also managed to get one seat each reserved for women.
