  "summary": "Voting in two constituencies of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) concluded on Tuesday, as the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) again alleged rigging. The elections, which are being held in three phases due to security concerns, had been postponed in LA-27 Muzaffarabad-I (Kutla) and 71 of the 174 polling stations in LA-28 Muzaffarabad-II (Lachhrat) due to landslides and bad weather. The PPP has accused the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) of rigging, violence, and electoral malpractices since the first phase of polling. They have shared complaints with the Election Commission, alleging ballot stuffing, obstruction of the polling process, and firing by PML-N workers to intimidate voters. However, the Election Commission has dismissed these allegations as vague and unverified, stating that forensic examination and corroborative evidence are required to treat the claims as proof.",
