The True post (Web News) — Prime Minister’s Adviser on Political Affairs Senator Rana Sanaullah has claimed that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is in a strong position to form the next government in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) following what he described as free, fair, and transparent legislative assembly elections.
He also stated that the creation of new provinces is not part of the government’s current agenda, emphasizing that Pakistan’s existing parliamentary system and the 1973 Constitution are capable of addressing the country’s challenges.
PML-N Confident of Forming Government
Speaking during a television interview, Rana Sanaullah said the people of Azad Kashmir had expressed confidence in PML-N’s performance.
He credited the party’s development initiatives, particularly in Punjab, for strengthening public support and claimed that PML-N is in a position to form the government on its own rather than through a coalition.
Election Transparency Defended
Rana Sanaullah described the Azad Kashmir elections as free, fair, and transparent, rejecting allegations of irregularities.
He criticized the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), saying it had continued what he called a misleading narrative during the election campaign despite the outcome.
According to him, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is also aware that the electoral process was conducted fairly, and he expressed hope that the party would accept the final results after the remaining phases of voting.
Hopeful of More Success
The senior PML-N leader said the party expects to secure additional victories in the remaining seats of the Azad Kashmir Assembly.
He maintained that public support remains firmly behind PML-N and predicted that the party would strengthen its position once all election results are finalized.
New Provinces Not Under Consideration
Responding to questions about the creation of new provinces, Rana Sanaullah said the issue has not been discussed as a policy decision within PML-N and is not currently on the government’s agenda.
He argued that Pakistan’s problems can be addressed by improving governance under the existing administrative structure rather than creating new provinces.
Confidence in the Constitution
Rana Sanaullah reiterated his confidence in Pakistan’s parliamentary democratic system and the 1973 Constitution, saying they have provided stability to the country for decades despite political crises and periods of military rule.
He argued that the country’s challenges stem from the implementation of constitutional principles, not from flaws in the constitutional framework itself.
According to him, strict adherence to the Constitution and the rule of law would enable Pakistan to achieve greater political stability and long-term development.
