In a major political development in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwarul Haq has officially resigned from his position, paving the way for a new political setup under the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).
The resignation comes amid mounting political pressure and an impending no-confidence motion led by the PPP and its allied legislators. Sources within the assembly confirmed that the PPP now enjoys a clear majority, ensuring that the number game is effectively over.
Following a series of high-level meetings chaired by PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the party’s leadership finalized its strategy to form a new government. Senior party officials have been tasked with reaching consensus on the next Prime Minister, who will represent the PPP and lead the region toward political stability.
According to reliable sources, President Asif Ali Zardari has endorsed the party’s decision, emphasizing unity and discipline among members to ensure a smooth transition of power.
Political analysts view Anwarul Haq’s resignation as a decisive turning point in Azad Kashmir’s political landscape, marking the end of an era of instability and the beginning of a new phase of governance under the PPP.
Celebrations erupted in various parts of Azad Kashmir following the announcement, as PPP workers took to the streets with slogans in support of their leadership. The mood within the party ranks is one of confidence and triumph, with leaders declaring that the PPP is ready to restore effective governance, accountability, and development in the region.
A formal announcement regarding the new Prime Minister’s name is expected within the next 48 hours, following consultation with the central leadership and coalition partners.
This shift not only redefines the balance of power in Azad Kashmir but also highlights the revival of the PPP’s political influence in the region — a party that has long claimed deep roots in the state’s democratic struggle.
As the PPP prepares to take charge, expectations are high among citizens for a government that focuses on progress, transparency, and empowerment of the people of Azad Kashmir.
