LAHORE MIRROR — Haji Gulbar Khan, an estranged member of the PTI, was elected as the chief minister for Gilgit Baltistan on Thursday.
His election to the role comes after PTI’s Khalid Khurshid Khan was disqualified as the chief minister over a fake degree earlier this month.
According to state-run Radio Pakistan, Gulbar secured 19 out of 20 votes while Raja Azam Khan, who had been endorsed by Khurshid as his successor, boycotted the election.
Javed Ali Manwa, who was leading one of the three forward blocs within the PTI, also boycotted the polls along with Muhammad Zakria Maqpoon, Radio Pakistan stated.
