Chaudhry Anwarul Haq, Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), is expected to resign either tonight or tomorrow according to multiple sources with knowledge of this matter, following claims by Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) that they have won majority control of AJK Legislative Assembly and opening up for an important political transition in the region. Geo News can confirm these developments as expected.
Political Realignment in AJK

Implications of Governance Reform at AJK Institution

As per the constitution of AJK, Prime Minister Haq’s resignation would trigger the election of a new House leader within 14 days, likely from among PPP nominees such as Chaudhry Yaseen, Chaudhry Latif Akbar or Sardar Yaqoob.
Daily Times Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), which had been part of the federal coalition government, recently announced its intention to sit as opposition in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir assembly. President Shah Ghulam Qadir stated that they do not endorse any “unnatural government formation”, advocating instead for transparent general elections to resolve political crisis.

PPP efforts to form a new government alongside PML-N’s opposition stance hint at imminent political restructuring that will shape Azad Jammu and Kashmir for years to come.
