PML-N Leads Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir Elections Amid Protests and Allegations
Pakistan's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has secured a majority in the Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) legislative assembly elections, winning 24 of 34 seats in the first two phases. The elections, held amid protests and boycott calls by the banned Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), have seen allegations of rigging and violence. Pakistan's government accuses India of destabilizing efforts, while voter turnout reportedly exceeded 50% in several areas, including Muzaffarabad. Remaining polling is scheduled for August 10.
