🗳️ Recent Changes
The reduction from 104 to 96 members occurred following the merger of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through the 25th Amendment in May 2018. This merger led to the abolition of 8 Senate seats previously allocated to FATA, thereby reducing the total number of Senate members to 96.
