PoK Elections Postponed in Seven Seats Amid Protests and Security Concerns
Elections in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir's Poonch division have been indefinitely postponed in seven of 11 constituencies due to escalating protests and security concerns. Activist Sardar Aman Khan led calls for election boycotts, warning of consequences for candidates. Voting will proceed in only four seats in Bagh and Haveli districts amid low public turnout at political rallies. The unrest reflects local resistance, political rivalry, and India's rejection of the polls as illegitimate. Security forces have used aerial firing, but protests continue.
