In 2013 elections Hashmi won from both two constituencies he contested from in Islamabad and in Multan from the platform of PTI. However, he fell out of party's favor after opposing publicly the party's decision to hold mass protests against his former boss the Nawaz Sharif in 2014, consequently resigning from both the party and the parliament.

He lost in a landslide to Amir Dogar, the PTI-backed independent candidate.
