The Businessmen Group (BMG) won all 30 seats in the Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s Executive Committee elections for 2026–28. Provisional results gave the group approximately 90 percent of the combined candidate votes received by the two principal panels. BMG candidates collectively secured 45,106 votes against the Businessmen Alliance’s (BMA) 5,006, establishing a lead of 40,100 votes.
