Protests block Karakoram Highway for third day over re-polling, delayed GB poll results
GILGIT-BALTISTAN: Protests blocking the Karakoram Highway in Diamer and other areas continued for a third day against the repolling and delay in the announcement of official results in various constituencies. Yesterday, the Gilgit-Baltistan Election Commission ordered re-polling on polling stations in Skardu-II (GBA-8), Astore-I (GBA-13), Diamer-I (GBA-15), Diamer-II (GBA-16) and Diamer-III (GBA-17) and directed that the results of the June 7 election must not be consolidated
Protests have continued for a third day along the Karakoram Highway, disrupting traffic and causing inconvenience to travelers. Demonstrators are expressing dissatisfaction with the Gilgit-Baltistan Election Commission's decision to order re-polling in several constituencies and the delay in announcing official election results from the June 7th polls. Supporters of a PPP candidate in Diamer-II are specifically demanding the counting of postal ballots and the immediate release of final results, rather than re-polling at certain stations. They allege that the re-polling order is an attempt to overturn the public's mandate, citing discrepancies in vote counts and postal ballot tallies.
The ongoing protests and highway blockades highlight significant concerns about electoral integrity and the transparency of election results in Gilgit-Baltistan, potentially impacting public trust in the democratic process.
