The Senate elections are anticipated to occur in the initial week of March. Preparation for these elections commenced alongside the general election announcement.

Around 50 senate members are expected to retire by March 11. However, despite four seats becoming vacant post the FATA merger, the total number of senate members will remain at 96.

Subsequent to the general elections, the Senate will hold elections for the 48 vacant seats. These senators will be elected by members from national and provincial assemblies.

Former President Asif Ali Zardari highlighted the nation's progress towards transparent elections, expressing the People's Party's readiness for the upcoming general elections. He placed trust in the Election Commission of Pakistan's ability to conduct transparent elections.

Zardari emphasized the People's Party's unique capability to contest elections in any environment, expressing hope for their emergence as the majority party in the elections on February 8, as announced by the Election Commission of Pakistan.
