PDM-backed Anwarul Haq elected AJK prime minister unopposed

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

Chaudhry Anwar-ul-Haq has been elected as the 15th prime minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) by securing 48 votes, ARY News reported on Thursday.

The development took place after the disqualification of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Sardar Tanveer Ilyas by the AJK High Court in a contempt case.


The AJK High Courtd declared Ilyas ineligible for holding any public office and asked AJK’s Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Abdul Rasheed Sulehria to hold polls for his successor as prime minister. The court’s decision came after Ilyas was summoned to AJK’s supreme court and high court for using a “threatening tone” in one of his speeches.

The session of the AJK Legislative Assembly was held in the wee hours of Thursday night. Chaudhry Anwar-ul-Haq, who was elected as AJK Assembly member from LA-7 Bhimber from PTI ticket obtained 48 votes out of a 52-strong house. Haq was jointed candidate of the joint opposition and PTI forward bloc.

AJK President Barrister Sultan Mehmood Chaudhry created a forward bloc in the assembly, rebelling against his own party.

In his inaugural address to the assembly following his election, Chaudhry Anwar-ul-Haq said that he contested the election as an independent candidate, emphasising that he garnered the support of both the PDM and PTI members.

Chaudhry also struck a chord with opposition parties and set a power-sharing formula in concert with them. The new AJK PM said he will work for the betterment of the masses and won’t stay in office if he fails.

‘Anwar-ul-Haq ditched Imran Khan’​

Former AJK prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf president Sardar Ilyas Tanveer said Anwar-ul-Haq was not PTI’s candidate, and he ‘ditched’ party chairman Imran Khan.

Chaudhry made a forward bloc and sought help from the opposition for his election as AJK PM, Tanveer claimed.

The former PM also said Imran Khan is yet to announce the name for AJK PM.

For Gandapur or IK got tricked or some deal etc..
anyway, he still needs the vote of confidence, and PTI can still deselect him.

People easily blame the establishment for everything but the reality is PTI themselves allowed lotas in to their party, now the lotas have seen that IK and Pti are struggling against the establishment etc so they made their move. Barrister Sultan is ex PPP and also has his own political party, if he leaves Pti he will take alot of people with him. He wanted to be the Prime minister but ended up being the president, he's come back with a vengeance. The fault was to accept him in to the party, he is very close to ppp leaders. He will never sacrifice his political career for IK.

Pakistan was the same situation but people made it in to some bit conspiracy like it never happened before.

Ajk is filled with feudal personalities and thye have no loyalty but to themselves. Plus the government doesnot control the area, just like balochistan, its the army that has total control and one phone call would make sure that they fall in line!

forward

PTI had 31 MLAs out of a total of 52 seats and were expected to make the government. However, right before the election for the new PM, majority of PTI legislators defected to the opposition (PDM) after which the speaker - also from the PTI - called for a vote and nominated himself at 12:00 am last night for the PM slot and won 48 out of 52 votes with 4 MLAs being absent. Only 15 minutes were allowed to file nomination papers.

This is political manoeuvring at its worst. In the next phase, PTI will be booted out from GB as well.

PTI President Ajk made a forward block and then made contacts with PmlN and PPP to elect Anwar-ul-Haq. He got 48 votes out of 54. Where is PTI Ajk lol.

Hopefully PDF anarchist will focus on AJK. These people have been calling for coups and bloodshed in Pakistan proper while electing bunch of crooked feudals.
