Polling begins in PS-30 Khairpur by-election

Polling has begun for the by-election in Sindh Assembly constituency PS-30 Khairpur, where Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) candidate Barrister Asfandyar Khan Khuhro is facing seven independent candidates.

According to election officials, 254,980 voters are eligible to cast their ballots in the constituency. Authorities have established 164 polling stations across the constituency to facilitate voters and ensure a smooth electoral process.

Security remains a major focus during the by-election. Officials have designated 64 polling stations as highly sensitive and 68 as sensitive due to security concerns. Around 2,500 police personnel have been deployed across the constituency to maintain law and order and protect voters, polling staff and election material.

The election is taking place following the death of PPP lawmaker **Naeem Khuhro**, which left the PS-30 seat vacant. The PPP has fielded Barrister Asfandyar Khan Khuhro to retain the constituency, while seven independent candidates are also contesting the election.

Voters will choose the next representative for the Sindh Assembly as polling continues under heightened security arrangements across Khairpur.
