It is pertinent here to mention that PTI won the most seats in Gilgit-Baltistan Legislative Assembly elections – held on Sunday – but failed to win an outright majority.

According to unofficial/unconfirmed results, PTI secured nine seats while PPP got four seats, Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) grabbed two seats, MWM secured one seat and independent candidates have secured seven seats.

On the other hand, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazalur Rehman has also rejected the results of the Gilgit-Baltistan elections.

He accused that the history of 2018 general elections was repeated in GB and vowed to take the matter in the next meeting of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) – an alliance of the opposition parties.

"We will make a future course of strategy on GB election results in the PDM meeting," he added.
