So, the earlier we merge, via an appropriate constitutional amendment, G-B into Pakistan as our fifth province the better it would be for both Pakistan and China and our mutual economic progress. As such, electing a government to rule G-B should be a matter concerning solely its people and that of the region’s election commission (EC) which should guarantee level-playing field to any political party with roots in G-B to contest the election. Instances of polling agents seated where they could not observe the voting process were reported from six constituencies. This preliminary report is based on the summary observation of 436 polling stations observed in 23 constituencies, more than 37% of 1,137 polling stations — 385 male, 386 female and 402 combined. Incidents of minor violence inside polling stations involving candidates, polling agents, political workers and polling staff were observed in 47.8% constituencies.
