GILGIT:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The political race in Gilgit-Baltistan is heating up after the June 7 elections, with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) emerging as the leading party based on unofficial and preliminary results. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is giving tough competition and holding key positions in several constituencies.<\/p>

After a closely fought election across the region\u2019s 24 general seats, no single party has secured an outright majority, setting the stage for coalition talks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To form the government in the 33-member Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly (including reserved seats for women and technocrats), a party or alliance needs 17 seats. Since no party has reached this number on its own, the final government will depend on post-election alliances.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

PPP Gains Ground, PML-N Holds Steady\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The PPP has made a strong comeback in this election, improving its position from 5 seats in the previous assembly to 10 this time. Party leaders credit their performance to an active campaign focused on development, jobs, and greater regional rights.<\/p>

On the other hand, the PML-N, led locally by Hafiz Hafeezur Rehman, has secured 6 important seats. While they are not in the lead, the party remains a key player and is expected to be central in upcoming coalition negotiations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Coalition Politics Ahead\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

With no clear majority, attention now shifts to independent candidates and smaller parties, who could play a decisive role in forming the next government in Gilgit-Baltistan.<\/p>

The final outcome will depend on alliances formed in the coming days, as political negotiations intensify across the region.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
