Unofficial results from the Gilgit-Baltistan Legislative Assembly elections indicate that the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) has emerged as the frontrunner, winning 10 out of 24 contested seats. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) secured 6 seats, while independent candidates, including two backed by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), collectively won 7 seats. The elections, held peacefully amid tight security, faced allegations of electoral manipulation from both PPP and PTI. PPP officials claimed delays in issuing Form-45, which documents vote counts, and alleged that polling stations were relocated to hinder their voter turnout. PTI raised concerns over suspiciously high voter turnout figures and claimed their polling agents were denied access to essential documentation. The elections followed a four-month delay due to harsh winter conditions, with 396 candidates contesting for the seats. The Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly consists of 33 seats, with 24 elected directly, and the remaining seats reserved for women and technocrats. The Chief Election Commissioner assured that the electoral process would be conducted transparently, despite the ongoing allegations.
