NA-202 Khairpur-I (این اے-202، خيرپُور-1) is a constituency for the National Assembly of Pakistan, encompassing the Khairpur and Kot Diji tehsils in the Khairpur District. Historically, the seat has been a stronghold of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).
The region has seen prominent political figures contesting the seat over the years, including Manzoor Wassan, Nawab Ali Wassan, and Nafisa Shah, all of whom have represented the PPP.
In recent elections, Nafisa Shah of the PPP has emerged as a key political figure, winning the seat in both the 2018 and 2024 general elections. Her victories signify the enduring influence of the PPP in the area, despite challenges from alliances like the Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) and other independent candidates.
The constituency’s electoral history is marked by allegations of electoral misconduct and legal challenges, as seen in the 2013 elections where Nawab Ali Wassan’s victory was initially declared void due to alleged corrupt practices. However, the Supreme Court of Pakistan later reinstated Wassan.

General elections were held on 10 Oct 2002. Manzoor Wassan of PPP won by 62,447 votes.

Election 2013

However, this victory was declared null and void as the election Tribunal declared Wassan had used corrupt practices to secure his election and declared senior politician Ghous Ali Shah winner who had challenged electoral fraud. However, on 18 December 2014, Wassan was restored by the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
