GB polls’ aftermath
IT appears that the PPP is in a comfortable position to form the government in Gilgit-Baltistan after Sunday’s polls for the region’s assembly.

The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) is in a strong position to form the next government in Gilgit-Baltistan following recent assembly elections. Despite the PPP leading in the unofficial vote count, the electoral process faced accusations of irregularities from both the PPP and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). The local election commission has scheduled re-polls for five seats due to these concerns.
If the final results remain consistent, the PPP is expected to lead the Gilgit-Baltistan administration, potentially in a coalition with the PML-N. This outcome follows previous PPP governments in the region.

The legitimacy of the Gilgit-Baltistan government and its ability to address long-standing local grievances are critical for regional stability and citizen satisfaction.
