Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) member Muhammad Masood Khan has been elected president of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) on Tuesday.
Earlier, seven members of the Kashmir Council and 48 members of the Azad Kashmir legislative assembly voted for the new President.
Muhammad Masood Khan received 42 votes, whereas Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) Chaudhry Latif Akbar received six votes.
The polling started at the Lodging Hall of the AJK legislative assembly today and ended at 3 PM.
Last month, PML-N won a landslide victory in the general elections in the province. PML-N candidate Raja Farooq Haider Khan was elected as the prime minister.
We salute Genuine people of Kashmir who are brave and bold and are ardent supporters of Pakistan. I wish same could be said about Kashmiris of Muzaffarabad and Gawalmandi.
