Balochistan, Pakistan’s southwestern province, is set to announce the results of the recent elections later today, according to the Caretaker Information Minister, Jan Achakzai. This announcement comes amidst a smoothly running electoral process in the province, with Achakzai expressing hope for its continuation. With more than 17,000 candidates vying for positions in the elections, voters in Balochistan will elect 266 candidates to the Pakistan National Assembly, who will ultimately elect the next prime minister. Simultaneously, voters will also select representatives for provincial assemblies, who in turn will choose the provincial chief executives.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) reported receiving 55 poll-related complaints, with 45 already resolved and ongoing work to address the remaining ones. The complaints primarily related to clashes, which were swiftly resolved on the spot, as stated by ECP spokesperson Haroon Shinwari.
Earlier today, there were reports of armed men blocking the Mand-Turbat Highway in Pakistan, conducting vehicle inspections along the route. While details about the armed group remain unclear, authorities are closely monitoring the situation.
The upcoming announcement of the election results in Balochistan is eagerly awaited by the public as they exercise their democratic right to vote. The peaceful conduct of the process thus far has instilled hope among authorities that the province will witness a successful culmination of the electoral proceedings. As the day progresses, the people of Balochistan anticipate the outcome that will shape the political landscape of the region.
