The only success of Awami Group in all six constituencies of the district was that of Malik Waris Kalloo who by bagging 42093 votes defeated independent Syed Zulqurnain Shah with a margin of 15822. PML (N) candidate Aziz Hussain Jara polled 16444 votes.

Kalloo’s score remained 42093 while Shah bagged 26271 votes. As compared to 2002’ general elections, Awan Group won three seats, though one contestant of this group Shakir Awan won on PML (N) ticket yet he is affiliated with this group while Umar Aslam lost with extremely narrow margin.

Awami group which fielded candidates on all six constituencies of the district, could win only 1 seat while in last general elections, it won 4 out of six. Peoples Party is very weak in district Khushab while PML (N) has strong support but it could won only one seat. Better ticket distribution could have rewarded it will all six seats.
