Provincial elections were held in the North-West Frontier Province to elect the members of the 9th Provincial Assembly of North-West Frontier Province on 18 February 2008, alongside nationwide general elections and three other provincial elections in Sindh, Balochistan, and Punjab. The remaining two territories of Pakistan, AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan, were ineligible to vote due to their disputed status. These were the last elections held under the provincial name "North-West Frontier Province", later changed to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa following the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan.

The elections resulted in a hung parliament with the Awami National Party (ANP) being the largest party. The ANP was able to form a coalition government with the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) after winning reserved seats for women and non-Muslims, and their candidate for the Chief Minister position, Haider Khan Hoti, was elected unopposed.[2][3]
