Overview
- Provisional counts released on Sunday show PML‑N winning 14 of the 19 constituencies announced in the second phase of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir elections.
- PML‑N swept the Punjab‑based refugee seats reported in this phase, taking all 10 of those constituencies and boosting its overall seat tally.
- Voting in LA‑27 was postponed after severe weather and landslides prevented election staff and materials from reaching all 196 polling stations in the constituency.
- Rana Sanaullah said PML‑N has won 26 of the assembly’s 45 seats so far and rejected PPP claims of rigging while PPP has publicly asserted the vote was flawed.
- The party plans a parliamentary meeting after the third phase on August 10 to finalize government formation and announce development projects; the results remain provisional and the remaining seats and formal certifications will decide the final assembly balance.
