Unofficial and unverified results are being received from polling stations as the counting process continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LA-14 Bagh-1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unofficial and unverified results from all <strong>214 polling stations<\/strong> in LA-14 Bagh-1 have been received, showing a major upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muslim Conference chief <strong>Sardar Atiq Ahmed Khan<\/strong> has lost his home constituency. The seat has been won by <strong>Sardar Sajid Iqbal<\/strong> of the Jammu and Kashmir Dast-o-Bazu Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the unofficial results, Sajid Iqbal secured <strong>40,702 votes<\/strong>, while Sardar Atiq Ahmed Khan received <strong>19,542 votes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sajid Iqbal therefore secured more than twice the number of votes obtained by the Muslim Conference leader, according to the unofficial count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is being viewed as a major upset given Sardar Atiq Ahmed Khan&#8217;s longstanding political association with the constituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LA-16 Bagh-3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unofficial and unverified results from <strong>84 of the total 186 polling stations<\/strong> have been received in LA-16 Bagh-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate <strong>Sardar Mir Akbar Khan<\/strong> is currently leading with <strong>9,243 votes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) candidate <strong>Sardar Qamar Zaman Khan<\/strong> is in second place with <strong>7,144 votes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The counting process is still underway, and the results remain unofficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LA-15 Bagh-2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In LA-15 Bagh-2, unofficial and unverified results from <strong>45 of the 213 polling stations<\/strong> have been received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PPP candidate <strong>Zia Qamar<\/strong> is currently leading with <strong>5,200 votes<\/strong>, while PML-N candidate <strong>Muhammad Mushtaq Ahmed Minhas<\/strong> is in second place with <strong>2,244 votes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further results are expected as counting continues at the remaining polling stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LA-17 Bagh-4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In LA-17 Bagh-4, unofficial and unverified results from only <strong>two of the 199 polling stations<\/strong> have been received so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PML-N candidate <strong>Chaudhry Mohsin Aziz<\/strong> is currently leading with <strong>443 votes<\/strong>, while PPP candidate <strong>Raja Faisal Mumtaz Rathore<\/strong> is in second place with <strong>344 votes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The early figures from this constituency are not indicative of the final outcome because results from only two polling stations have been received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third phase of the AJK elections has attracted significant political attention, particularly following the unexpected defeat of Muslim Conference chief Sardar Atiq Ahmed Khan in his home constituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As vote counting continues, political parties and candidates are closely monitoring the results from all four constituencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The figures currently available are <strong>unofficial and unverified<\/strong>, and the final results will be declared by the relevant election authorities after completion of the counting and verification process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further updates are expected as results from the remaining polling stations are received.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MUZAFFARABAD: The results of the third phase of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) elections are continuing to emerge after polling
