According to Hussain Ahmad Madni, a central leader of the Pakistan People's Party, the sudden changes in the constituencies have caused concern among both voters and candidates. It is difficult for voters to choose an appropriate candidate when they are not familiar with them.

He says that there will be difficulties in getting voters to the polling stations and the fear of rigging will also increase. The Election Commission should review the decision to change constituencies itself.

District President Muslim League (N) Khalid Mahmood Jajja has expressed satisfaction with the new constituencies. He says that the process of change in constituencies has been done according to law, and he has no problem or objection to any constituencies.

Candidate from Constituency NA165 Yazman and son of Muslim League (Q) Secretary General Tariq Bashir Cheema, Wali Dad Cheema says that the Election Commission is independent, whichever constituency is final, he will contest the election. In the last election, Tariq Cheema won despite the change of constituency.

Amir Jamaat-e-Islami District Bahawalpur Syed Zeeshan Akhtar said that there is an impression that favored constituencies have been created to make certain candidates successful. They reject these constituencies and demand that the previous constituencies be restored.

The leader of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) National Assembly candidate Muhammad Safdar Shahbaz said that he has no objection to constituencies. While President Insaf Lawyers Forum South Punjab Malik Muhammad Sadiq Joya says that there has been no consultation with PTI on any issue, so he will not give any opinion on constituencies.

Social activist Mazhar Shahzad believes that constituencies are a conspiracy to favor certain people. It seems that there is a plan to make the preferred candidates successful by giving them the constituencies of their choice.

Citizen Muhammad Ayub Bajwa says that the constituencies were changed in 2018, now after five years the same practice is being done again. If constituencies were to be changed based on population, at least surrounding legislation would have been included. Constituencies are made into a long strip from east to west.

He claimed that the Hamatian Legislature has been separated from Yazman Constituency NA165 because the former MPA Chaudhry Ehsanul Haque has left the side of Chaudhry Tariq Bashir Cheema and the former MPA had personal influence in this area. Chaudhry Tariq did not expect to get more votes from here now.
