The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Election Commission on Tuesday ordered re-polling at some polling stations in two constituencies in Poonch Division’s Bagh district.
Polling in four constituencies of Bagh and Haveli districts was held on Monday as part of the third and final phase of AJK elections. Balloting in the Poonch and Sudhnoti districts had been postponed over law and order concerns in the wake of tensions between protesters and authorities.
Re-polling at nine polling stations in LA-15 (Bagh Central) and 14 polling stations in LA-16 (Bagh East) will be held on August 15 (Saturday), AJK Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Ghulam Mustafa Mughal told Dawn at his office on Tuesday.
Re-polling has been ordered as the electoral process at some stations either could not begin on time or was disrupted and subsequently cancelled.
