This decision to form a coalition government is considered an important step towards promoting political tolerance, national unity and democratic continuity, through which effective, stable and people-friendly governance in Gilgit-Baltistan will be ensured,” the statement said.

The PPP has won the majority of seats and becomes the largest party in the 24-member assembly, followed by the PML-N with six seats.

The Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) has emerged as the third largest parliamentary group after four independent candidates elected from different constituencies joined its ranks.

At the national level, the post-electoral situation had boosted political coordination between the parties. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif congratulated the PPP on its position as the leading party in Britain and indicated that the PML-N would be in the opposition, while supporting the PPP in forming the government.

PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari welcomed the development, describing it as a continuation of democratic norms and expressed gratitude for the cooperation. He said his party would focus on addressing governance challenges and public concerns in the region.
