LAHORE (Kashmir English): Former prime minister and PML-N supremo Mian Nawaz Sharif will visit Gilgit-Baltistan today to meet party ticket holders ahead of the June 7 polls.
The GB Election Commission had announced that general elections in the region would be held on June 7 after a four-month delay.
The announcement to this effect came from Punjab Senior Provincial Minister Maryam Aurangzeb who said on X that the PML-N president will visit GB on Tuesday for a one-day visit.
During the visit, the party head will meet local leaders and ticket-holders.
“He will also discuss the upcoming elections in Gilgit-Baltistan and matters related to the development and welfare of the people of the region,” she said.
Nawaz Sharif has not been active in politics since the February 2024 general elections.
The PML-N supremo also acts as a political mentor to his daughter and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.
Gilgit-Baltistan elections
The 2026 Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly elections are scheduled to take place on June 7, 2026.
The polls were initially set for January 24, 2026, after the legislature completed its five-year tenure in late 2025, but the Election Commission of Gilgit-Baltistan postponed the polls by four months due to harsh winter conditions and heavy snowfall.
