Protests block Karakoram Highway for third day over re-polling, delayed GB poll results

Protests blocking the Karakoram Highway in Diamer and other areas continued for a third day over re-polling and delayed official results in Gilgit-Baltistan elections. Supporters of PPP candidate Attaullah in GBA-16 Diamer-II demanded the counting of postal ballots and cancellation of re-polling, alleging the Election Commission's decision was an 'excess and robbery' of public mandate.
