The party ticket for Bajur PK-20 was allotted to Akhundzada Chatan. Malakand PK-23 ticket was given to former provincial president Humayun Khan, and provincial president Muhammad Ali Shah Bacha was also given Malakand PK-24 ticket.

The provincial assembly of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has 115 seats, while 45 seats are allocated for the National Assembly for general elections 2024 scheduled for February 8.
Hence, the number of PPP's ticket holders for the KP provincial assembly is quite low. It might be possible that PPP will announce more contesting candidates in a day or two.
The PPP is the only mainstream political party that has announced the contesting candidates for provincial assembly from the KP. However, PPP hasn’t announced candidates for the National Assembly from KP. All political parties have started to announce ticket holders to contest General Elections 2024. As the nomination papers of contesting candidates have been accepted by appellate tribunal.
