The census was conducted by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics for the first time in 21st century, after 19 years.[1][2] Initial estimates put the population at 19 crore (210â€“220 million).[3] Due to the dismissal of Nawaz Sharif from the office of Prime Minister, the results were delayed.

The results showed a total population of Pakistan excluding of that of Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Kashmir at 207.8 million.[4][5]
