The candidate of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan has been elected unopposed as the Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) after the united opposition of PML-N and PPP boycotted the election for the PM’s seat.
According to media reports, the PM’s seat was vacant since April 14 after Abdul Qayyum Niazi tendered his resignation following the PTI members’ submission of a no-confidence motion against him.
