According to him, a PPP candidate who had initially secured victory was later declared defeated without fulfilling the required legal procedures, and <strong>Form-49<\/strong> was issued in favor of the opposing candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He further pointed out that election laws require the issuance of the official gazette notification within <strong>14 days of polling<\/strong>, but claimed that the notification has yet to be published. He questioned the decision of the Chief Election Commissioner to accept an independent member as part of the <strong>Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP)<\/strong> before the official gazette had been issued, calling it a premature move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Bukhari, these developments indicate that political affairs in Gilgit-Baltistan are not being conducted in line with constitutional and legal principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAttempts are being made to block the PPP\u2019s path in Gilgit-Baltistan,\u201d he said, adding that the party would continue to pursue its political and legal options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PPP leader expressed confidence that his party is in a strong position to form the next government in the region. He claimed that once reserved and technocrat seats are allocated, the PPP\u2019s strength would rise to <strong>between 17 and 19 seats<\/strong>, giving it a clear majority in the assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInsha\u2019Allah, the Pakistan Peoples Party will form the government in Gilgit-Baltistan,\u201d Bukhari stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discussing coalition possibilities, he revealed that leaders of the <strong>Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP)<\/strong> had met with PPP representatives and sought ministerial positions in exchange for support in government formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also confirmed that discussions have taken place with the <strong>Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)<\/strong> regarding possible political cooperation. However, he emphasized that the final decision on coalition partners and the structure of the future government would be made by the party leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Political observers note that the process of government formation in Gilgit-Baltistan remains uncertain due to pending legal proceedings, delayed gazette notifications, and ongoing negotiations among political parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As consultations and legal challenges continue, the coming weeks are expected to play a crucial role in determining which party ultimately succeeds in forming the next government in the strategically important region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad: Senior Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Neyyar Hussain Bukhari has alleged that efforts are being made to prevent his party from forming a government in Gilgit-Baltistan, claiming that political and electoral matters in the region are not being handled in accordance with the Constitution and the law.
