  "summary": "The PML-N has secured 14 seats while the PPP has managed to win only four seats in the second phase of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) elections, according to unofficial results released by the Election Commission. The election took place over three phases due to security concerns, and polling was postponed in certain areas due to landslides and bad weather. The PML-N leader, Rana Sanaullah, claimed that his party has now gained the \"simple majority\" needed to form a government in AJK, stating that they have secured 23 out of 45 seats. The PPP had accused the PML-N of electoral malpractices, rigging, and violence during the elections.",
