Event Summary

The first phase of elections in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) was held on July 27, 2026, with the British Raj — All-India Muslim League winning 9 of 13 seats and the Pakistan — Pakistan People s Party winning 4. Allegations of rigging were made by the PPP, while the PML-N dismissed them. Violence led to one PPP worker killed and two injured. The elections follow two months of unrest triggered by the Pakistan — Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee's demand to abolish 12 refugee seats. India criticized the elections as a cover for Pakistan's illegal occupation.
