The Election Commission of Gilgit-Baltistan (ECGB) officially declared the election results for 21 out of the 24 constituencies on Friday, issuing notifications for the successful candidates. The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), led by Bilawal Bhutto, emerged as the largest party securing nine seats. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) followed with six seats, while the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) claimed four. The Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) and an independent candidate each won one seat.
Meanwhile, the ECGB postponed the announcement of results for three constituencies: GBA-9 Skardu-3, GBA-15 Diamer-1, and GBA-17 Diamer-3. Notifications for the remaining constituencies have been issued.
Among the notified winners, PPP’s Amjad Hussain secured GBA-1 Gilgit-1, and PML-N’s Hafeezur Rehman won GBA-2 Gilgit-2. An independent candidate, Syed Sohail Abbas, was declared victorious in GBA-3 Gilgit-3. PPP’s Muhammad Ali Akhtar and Zulfiqar Ali Murad won GBA-4 Nagar-1 and GBA-5 Nagar-2 respectively, while Nek Nam Karim took GBA-6 Hunza.
Further results included PPP’s Syed Tauqeer Mehdi winning GBA-7 Skardu-1 and MWM’s Muhammad Kazim securing GBA-8 Skardu-2. PPP’s Nasir Ali Khan triumphed in GBA-10 Skardu-4, Iqbal Hassan in GBA-11 Kharmang, and Imran Nadeem in GBA-12 Shigar. PML-N’s Rana Farman Ali and Rana Muhammad Farooq won GBA-13 Astore-1 and GBA-14 Astore-2 respectively, while IPP’s Imam Malik claimed GBA-16 Diamer-2.
In other constituencies, PML-N’s Malik Kifayatur Rehman won GBA-18 Diamer-4. Ghizer’s seats were divided with PPP’s Syed Jalal Ali Shah winning GBA-19 Ghizer-1, PML-N’s Abdul Jehan securing GBA-20 Ghizer-2, and IPP’s Aman Ali succeeding in GBA-21 Ghizer-3. PML-N’s Muhammad Ibrahim Sanai won GBA-22 Ghanche-1, and IPP’s Anwar Ali and Asad Shafiq took GBA-23 Ghanche-2 and GBA-24 Ghanche-3 respectively.
The general elections in Gilgit-Baltistan were conducted on June 7. However, the final results in several constituencies remained incomplete due to pending partial re-polling in select polling stations. This delay came after multiple political parties raised concerns over irregularities and procedural issues during the vote counting process.
Notably, the PPP, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) voiced reservations about the transparency of the elections. In response, election authorities ordered re-polling at specific polling stations within five constituencies—GBA-8, GBA-13 (Astore), GBA-15 (Diamer-1), GBA-16 (Diamer-2), and GBA-17 (Diamer-3)—rather than annulling the entire constituency results.
This targeted approach aimed to resolve localized voting issues while allowing the overall election process to move forward toward completion.
