Prime Minister Imran Khan has thanked the people of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) for voting for his party in Sunday’s election which helped the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf clinch at least 25 out of 45 general seats of the legislative assembly, as per the unofficial results.
“I want to thank the ppl [people] of AJK for placing their trust in the PTI through their votes which resulted in its electoral victory,” the premier said in a tweet from his official handle on Monday.
PM Imran expressed resolve that his party would focus on bringing the people of AJK out of poverty through his government’s flagship programmes — ‘Ehsaas and Kamayab Naujawan Programme’.
He also pledged that he will establish accountability and transparency in the regional government.
“I want to congratulate all our successful candidates. As ambassador for Kashmir, I will continue to raise my voice at all international forums including the UN to ensure the international community fulfils its commitment of self-determination to the Kashmiri people through UN-sponsored plebiscite,” he said in a follow-up tweet.
