30 Newly Elected Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly Members Take Oath of Office

Detailed Report

  • The Swearing-In Ceremony: The newly elected members of the Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) Assembly officially took their oaths of office on Monday, June 22, 2026. The oath was administered by the Speaker of the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly, Nazir Ahmed Advocate, during the inaugural session of the legislative house. Following the swearing-in, the Speaker extended his formal congratulations to the incoming lawmakers on their successful election.

  • Party-Wise Composition Matrix: A total of 30 newly elected members took the oath of office, establishing the initial power dynamics of the regional legislature. The political breakdown of the sworn-in members stands as follows:

    • Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP): 13 members.

    • Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N): 9 members.

    • Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP): 6 members.

    • Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM): 1 member.

    • PTI-Backed Independents: 1 member.

  • Judicial Delays on Remaining Seats: While the assembly has begun its operational term, the house remains incomplete. The official election notifications for three specific constituencies in Gilgit-Baltistan have been withheld due to pending court orders and ongoing litigation. Consequently, the public representation and oath-taking process for those three remaining legislative seats cannot be finalized until the judiciary issues its definitive rulings.
