The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has formally rejected the recent election outcomes in Gilgit-Baltistan, alleging widespread voter fraud and systemic interference. Party chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan announced that the PTI will publish a comprehensive white paper documenting these irregularities and observe a 'black day' during the upcoming swearing-in ceremony for new lawmakers. The party claims that officials suppressed their campaign efforts and manipulated vote counts in several key constituencies, specifically citing evidence of bogus ballots in Astore.
Beyond the PTI's internal findings, an opposition alliance led by Mehmood Khan Achakzai has also denounced the electoral process, labeling it a repeat of the controversial 2024 general elections. These groups argue that the results lack legitimacy and suggest that the democratic process has been undermined by external influence. The PTI is now demanding a re-election in affected areas and seeking a share of the reserved seats for women and technocrats.
The allegations of electoral manipulation in Gilgit-Baltistan threaten to further destabilize the political climate and undermine public trust in the region's democratic institutions.
