Contesting against Imran Khan was former Punjab CM and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shahbaz Sharif.
Earlier, the session kicked off around 4:30pm with all lawmakers seated.
Imran Khan arrived at parliament well ahead of the scheduled polling time.
Before the process of election which is taking place through division, the Speaker read out the procedure for the election. Bells were rung for five minutes to allow Members of the National Assembly not present in the Chamber to be present.
