AJK-Legislative-Assembly-1-1.jpg

After disqualification of Azad Kahmir Prime Minister Tanvir Ilyas, election of the new prime minister has caused headache for the ruling Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI).

The Forward Block in the party has claimed to have reached to a deal with the opposition for election of the new prime minister.

Barrister Sultan Mehmood Group has named Chaudhry Akhlaq and Chaudhry Rasheed as its candidates for the coveted office of the AJK PM.

In case of an alliance between the opposition and Sultan Mehmood group, their count in the legislative assembly will reach to 26, while 27 votes required for election of the prime minister in the legislature, which have 52 members strength. Thus, the solitary vote of Muslim Conference’s Sardar Ateeq Ahmed, a former prime minister of the region, has got strategic importance.

Barrister Sultan’s group, which is comprises of six legislators, could play the kingmaker’s role. Their support could guide a candidate to the office of the prime minister.

Meanwhile, Chaudhry Yaseen, Chaudhry Latif and Faisal Mumtaz from the opposition benches have also entered in the race for the PM office.

Under Article 17 of the Assembly rules clause 16, the prime minister should be elected immediately in the session of the legislature. The leader of the house could not be elected owing to adjournment of the legislative session for two days continuously.

The house likely to elect its leader in a session of the Azad Kashmir Assembly, summoned today.

It is to be mentioned here that the Azad Kashmir High Court, had disqualified Tanvir Ilyas as the AJK PM in a contempt of court hearing on April 11.

AJK PM had extreme conflict with establishment on AJK development projects where PM opponents keep on taking stay orders on projects from courts. So, establishment finally toppled PM. Good luck to democracy in AJK.
So, all projects for public development can't be executed by the govt of AJK.

Pti again allowed lotas in to their party and now they're back firing yet again. Barrister Sultan is ex ppp guy, he has close contacts with ppp and MC guys so he's jumping ships again. But he is the head of PTI in AJK, who made that idiotic decision. He wanted to be the PM of AJK but wasn't chosen so he's now blackmailing.

What's the difference of mandate? Or is it more akin to ceremonial crown given to most economic powerful clan?

The chief executive of the government is the prime minister, who is elected by the Azad Kashmir Legislative Assembly and is supported by a council of ministers. PM is the big fish, President is similar to Pakistan President, doesn't have much power.
