Islamabad: The National Assembly has completed three years with dismal attendance from leading politicians including Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan.

Out of 98 sessions of the National Assembly, the prime minister attended only nine. It seemed as if the PTI chief Imran Khan was even busier than the prime minister. He was present in only five sessions.

Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah attended 71 sessions.

Attendance of women parliamentarians turned out to be better than their male counterparts.

Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) parliamentarian Alia Kamran and Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) parliamentarian Naseema Hafeez had 100 percent attendance.
