Senate of Pakistan Members List 2026: All 95 Senators by Province and Party, and the 48 Whose Terms End in March 2027

We copied the full list from senate.gov.pk on 11 November 2026 and sorted it by province, party and the year each term ends. Party labels are exactly as the Senate shows them. Below are all 95 names, the four office holders, the party count, and how to check any senator's profile and attendance yourself.

The Senate of Pakistan has 95 members listed for 96 seats

The Senate has 96 seats under Article 59 of the Constitution: 23 for each of the four provinces and 4 for Islamabad. On 11 November 2026, senate.gov.pk listed 95 names. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa shows 22 names for its 23 seats, so one seat appears empty on the page.

Each province's 23 seats are split into 14 general seats, 4 for women, 4 for technocrats and religious scholars (ulema), and 1 for a non-Muslim. Islamabad's 4 are 2 general, 1 woman and 1 technocrat. Senators serve six years, and half the House is elected every three years. Every bill must pass here as well as in the National Assembly, as set out in how a bill becomes law in Pakistan. That is why every senator's term on the list ends in either March 2027 or March 2030.

Four office holders lead the Senate

The Senate's site names four office holders. Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani is Chairman and Syedaal Khan is Deputy Chairman. Mohammad Ishaq Dar is Leader of the House, and Raja Nasir Abbas is Leader of the Opposition.

• Chairman: Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani, PPPP, Islamabad seat, term ends March 2027.
• Deputy Chairman: Syedaal Khan, PML-N, Balochistan, term ends March 2030.
• Leader of the House: Mohammad Ishaq Dar, PML-N, Islamabad seat, term ends March 2030.
• Leader of the Opposition: Raja Nasir Abbas, MWM, Punjab, term ends March 2030.

The Chairman's term ending in March 2027 matters. After the next Senate election, the new House elects its Chairman and Deputy Chairman again, so the top job is open in spring 2027.

PPP is the largest party in the Senate with 26 seats

Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians holds 26 of the 95 listed seats. PML-N has 20. PTI and independents have 14 each. Eight smaller parties share the other 21. Here is the count from the members page:

All 14 senators the site lists under PTI were elected in 2021, so all 14 terms end in March 2027. We have kept the Senate's own party labels throughout rather than guess anyone's affiliation.

Punjab's 23 senators

Punjab has 23 senators: 11 whose terms end in March 2027 and 12 whose terms end in March 2030. PML-N holds 14 of the 23. Three federal ministers sit in the Senate from Punjab: Azam Nazeer Tarar, Muhammad Aurangzeb and Mohsin Naqvi.

"Elected in place of" means the senator won a by-election for a seat that fell vacant, and serves the rest of that term.

Sindh's 23 senators

Sindh has 23 senators, and PPPP holds 18 of them. Eleven terms end in March 2027 and twelve in March 2030. MQM Pakistan has three Sindh seats, PTI has one and one senator is listed as independent.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's 22 listed senators

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa shows 22 names for 23 seats. Twelve terms end in March 2027, including all eight PTI senators listed for the province. Ten terms end in March 2030, and five of those senators are listed as independents.

Balochistan's 23 senators

Balochistan has 23 senators from six parties plus independents, the most mixed list of any province. Twelve terms end in March 2027 and eleven in March 2030. The Deputy Chairman, Syedaal Khan, is from Balochistan.

Islamabad's 4 senators

Islamabad has 4 senators, elected by the National Assembly rather than a provincial assembly. Two terms end in March 2027, including the Chairman's, and two in March 2030.

How to check a senator's profile and attendance

Every senator has a profile page on senate.gov.pk, and the Senate publishes attendance for every sitting. You can check both in a few minutes, with no login. These are the steps we followed on 11 November 2026:

1. Open senate.gov.pk and choose Senators, then Members Senate.
2. Find the name in the table. You can sort by province or party.
3. Click the name to open the profile, with party, province and term.
4. For attendance, choose Senators, then Members Attendance.
5. Pick a sitting date. The latest listed on 11 November were the 364th session sittings, up to 30 October 2026.

The Senate was prorogued on 30 October 2026, so there will be no new sitting attendance until the next session. Committees still meet, as they did on 10 November, covered in our report on the Senate committees of 10 November. To find your member of the lower house instead, use find your MNA.

One link on the Senate home page is not working. The "File a Petition" link leads to publicpetition.senate.gov.pk, and on 10 and 11 November 2026 that address showed a hosting "Account Suspended" page. So we could not test online petitions.
