Four newly elected independent members of the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly on Tuesday announced their decision to join the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) following a meeting with party president and Federal Minister Abdul Aleem Khan.
The lawmakers who joined the party are Anwar Ali from GBA-23 Ghanche-II, Dr Asad Shafiq from GBA-24 Ghanche-III, Muhammad Dilpazeer from GBA-15 Diamer-I, and Aman Ali Amir from GBA-21 Yasin.
The move strengthens IPP’s presence in the newly elected Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly and comes as political parties continue efforts to consolidate support following the regional elections.
