ISLAMABAD: The ruling party, the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) president and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, has convened an important meeting of the party’s parliamentary board on 20 April in Murree to finalise ticket distribution for the Gilgit-Baltistan elections 2026.
Around 150 candidates have submitted applications for party tickets across 24 constituencies in Gilgit-Baltistan.
The sources said the parliamentary board will review these applications and finalise the names of candidates during the upcoming meeting.
Party sources said discussions will also include possible political alliances and new party entrants as part of the broader electoral strategy.
The Pakistan Muslim League (N) has formed a 23-member parliamentary board to oversee and approve ticket allocations.
The board includes senior party leaders such as Shehbaz Sharif, Ishaq Dar, Ahsan Iqbal, Khawaja Asif, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, Hamza Shehbaz, Khawaja Saad Rafique, and several other senior figures.
The board holds full authority to approve party tickets. All members have been formally informed about the meeting, which is scheduled to take place at 11 am in Murree under the chairmanship of Nawaz Sharif.
Sources further indicated that a similar parliamentary board meeting may soon be convened for party tickets in Azad Jammu and Kashmir as well.
