Balloting is underway at 23 polling stations across two constituencies in AJK's Bagh district, with voting set to continue until 5pm. In the third phase of polling on Monday, PPP's Sardar Ziaul Qamar secured 16,637 votes in LA-15 (Bagh Central), while PML-N's Mushtaq Ahmed Minhas received 15,015 votes and Jamaat-i-Islami's retired Brig Dr Muhammad Khan garnered 12,259 votes.
However, results from nine stations in LA-15 and 14 stations in LA-16 (Eastern Bagh) have been withheld due to polling not being held at those locations, which have a combined 7,238 registered voters. Despite the controversy, PML-N currently leads with 24 seats, while the PPP has only won 10 constituencies during the first and second phases.
The Chief Election Commissioner, retired Justice Ghulam Mustafa Mughal, assured that adequate security measures are in place to ensure a fear-free voting environment.
