The result of the 2008 general election in this constituency is given below.

Dr. Arif Alvi of PTI won the 2013 elections with a total of 76,305 votes. The elections were held on 11 May but there were abundant reports of election irregularities^[7] which resulted in the Election Commission of Pakistan declaring a re-polling a week later on 19 May 2013 in 42 polling stations out of a total of 186. Alvi was declared the winner with 76,305 votes, followed by Khushbakht Shujaat of MQM at 28,374, and then Naimatullah Khan belonging to Jamaat-e-Islami, who received 11,149 votes. Jamaat-e-Islami boycotted the elections on the afternoon of 11 May (election day), citing massive election rigging in Karachi and Hyderabad.^[8]

On 18 May, a day before the re-polling, PTI leader Zahra Shahid Hussain was assassinated outside her house.^[9] The entire week, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) had been appealing to the Election Commission of Pakistan to hold elections throughout the NA-250 constituency, but their appeal was rejected. Ultimately MQM chose to boycott the re-polling of 42 polling stations in NA-250 on 19 May. Alvi of PTI was declared as a Member of the National Assembly of Pakistan from NA-250 Constituency of Karachi.

Previously this constituency was labelled as NA-250, but in the 2018 general elections it was re-labelled by the Election Commission of Pakistan as NA-247 Karachi South-II.
