Where it stands

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) currently holds a lead in Pakistan-administered Kashmir following the second phase of local elections. According to Dawn, the PML-N and the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) have each secured one seat in the Muzaffarabad constituencies, where voting had been previously delayed. Events on the ground are defined by heavy security, rock-strewn roads, and burnt-out vehicles.

Al Jazeera and NPR report that these elections are taking place under the shadow of a boycott called by a banned group, leading to widespread protests in the region. The Times of India notes that the administrative environment remains tense, characterized by significant unrest throughout the balloting process. International interest in these results extends beyond regional borders, with SNJ Today noting that the implications of the Kashmir vote resonate as far as South Jersey.

The total influence of the boycott on final voter participation rates is not yet specified, and the remaining parliamentary results are pending.
