They comprised 55 out of 104 senators, 140 out of 342 National Assembly members, 63 out of 371 Punjab Assembly members, 53 of the 168 members of Sindh Assembly, 34 out of 124 members of K-P assembly and 15 out of 65 members of Balochistan Assembly.
On September 26, ECP had said that it has received the asset details of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
On July 9, the poll body had issued a notification, asking all lawmakers to submit details of their assets by September 30.
