The third phase of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) elections concluded on Monday in the Bagh and Haveli districts of Poonch Division. Polling took place at 803 polling stations across four constituencies from 8 am to 5 pm. The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) continued to allege rigging and electoral malpractices by the Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N), despite the PML-N maintaining their confidence to form the government based on the seats they have already secured.
The PML-N has 24 seats, while the PPP has secured 10 constituencies. The Election Commission had postponed polling in Bagh and Sudhnoti districts due to law and order concerns and had hinted at holding the remaining seven constituencies' polling by August 20 or 21.
