Major opposition parties have rejected the results of recently held elections for Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, crying for rigging in the polls won by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
PPP chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz have expressed their concerns in this regard.
Bilawal in a Tweet said that Election Commission of AJK failed to take action against the PTI leaders for violating the electoral rules.
Despite the rigging, the PPP has emerged as the largest opposition party in AJK with 11 seats, up from 3 seats it got in previous elections. While sharing the list of successful candidates of his party, he thanked the people of Kashmir for their support.

Meanwhile, Maryam Nawaz said that she will not accept the results, adding that she had also not accepted the 2018 polls.
She said that the party would soon decide the further strategy regarding the ‘shameless rigging’.
میں نے نتائج تسلیم نہیں کیے ہیں اور نا کروں گی۔ میں نے تو ۲۰۱۸ کے نتائج بھی تسلیم نہیں کیے نا اس جعلی حکومت کو مانا ہے۔ ورکر اور ووٹرز کو شاباش دی ہے۔ اس بے شرم دھاندلی پر کیا لائحہ عمل ہو گا، جماعت جلد فیصلہ کرے گی انشاءاللّہ https://t.co/tgaO8TrH9H
