ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): On April 6, the PPP Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) appointed conveners in ten districts to conduct organisational elections within 15 days, as notified by the party’s Secretary General in Islamabad.
In a significant organisational move, the Pakistan People’s Party Azad Jammu and Kashmir (PPP AJK) has issued a formal notification for the appointment of conveners across ten districts as part of its internal restructuring process. These conveners have been tasked with conducting organisational elections in their respective districts within 15 days.
The notification, signed by Secretary General PPP AJK Faisal Mumtaz Rathore and approved by President PPP AJK Chaudhry Muhammad Yasin, states that the district-level conveners will submit their election results and recommendations to the party’s central office for final approval and formal announcement of new office-bearers.
As per the official notification (Ref: FMR/210), the appointed conveners and their respective districts for the organisational elections are Chaudhry Muhammad Yasin for Kotli, Chaudhry Latif Akbar for Muzaffarabad, Sardar Yaqoob Khan for Poonch, Chaudhry Pervaiz Ashraf for Bhimber, Faisal Mumtaz Rathore for Haveli, Mian Waheed for Neelum, Ashfaq Zafar for Jhelum Valley, Qasim Majid for Mirpur, Zia-ul-Qamar for Bagh and Ghazi Manzoor for Sudhanoti.
