Maryam Urges PPP to Accept AJK ‘Poll Verdict’

Maryam Nawaz said PML-N won 9 of 13 seats in Mirpur Division and urged the Pakistan Peoples Party to stop alleging rigging.

  • On Tuesday, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz hailed the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz victory in the first phase of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly elections, dismissing rigging allegations from Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
  • The PML-N emerged as the dominant party, securing nine of 13 seats in Mirpur Division, while the PPP won the remaining four seats according to unofficial results.
  • Challenging the rigging claims, Maryam Nawaz stated, "It is the people, not the state, who decide election results," arguing the PPP governed Sindh for more than 17 years with few accomplishments.
  • Comparing the PPP's current response to the Gilgit-Baltistan elections, the Punjab Chief Minister noted the PML-N accepted that PPP victory, whereas the party now expresses anger after its AJK defeat.
  • Addressing Bilawal's focus, Maryam Nawaz advised him to concentrate on fixing Sindh's roads, sanitation, and law and order rather than criticizing election outcomes in other provinces.
