PoK legislative elections to witness tough triangular competition
Islamabad : A tough triangular competition is expected among major political parties during the 11th general elections for the legislative assembly in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to be held on Sunday.
There are over 3.2 million eligible voters who can elect 45 members of the assembly for a five-year term.
India has previously slammed Pakistan for its decision to hold elections in Gilgit-Baltistan and said any action to alter the status of the militarily-occupied region has no legal basis.
The assembly has total 53 members but only 45 are directly elected, while five seats are reserved for women and three are meant for the technocrats.
