PPP demands immediate release of GB election results

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Central Secretary General Nayyar Bukhari has called on the Election Commission to immediately announce all pending election results in Gilgit-Baltistan, alleging that delays are undermining the democratic process.

In a strongly worded statement, Bukhari claimed that authorities were intentionally delaying and altering election results to cast doubt on the PPP’s electoral gains in the region. He argued that the party had secured victories in several constituencies, including GBA-16 and GBA-17, but officials had yet to officially declare the outcomes.

According to Bukhari, the continued delay in releasing the results has raised serious concerns about transparency and fairness. He maintained that the people of Gilgit-Baltistan had exercised their democratic right through the ballot box and deserved to see their mandate respected without interference.

The PPP leader further alleged that a coordinated effort was underway to weaken the party’s electoral position by withholding results from constituencies where it had already emerged victorious. He stressed that any attempt to manipulate or disregard the public mandate would damage confidence in the electoral system.

Bukhari urged the Election Commission to ensure a transparent and impartial process and to announce all outstanding results without further delay. He also warned that if efforts to deny the public’s mandate continued, the PPP would consider launching protests to defend what it described as the legitimate verdict of the voters.

The statement comes amid growing political attention on the Gilgit-Baltistan elections, with parties closely monitoring the result compilation and announcement process.
