Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) candidate Zia-ul-Qamar is leading the contest in LA-15 Bagh-II, according to unofficial and unconfirmed results from 123 polling stations.
The preliminary results show Zia-ul-Qamar with 17,025 votes, while Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Mushtaq Minhas is in second place with 15,063 votes.
The PPP candidate currently holds a lead of 1,962 votes, although the results remain unofficial and subject to confirmation by the AJK Election Commission.
Polling was initially scheduled to take place in seven constituencies across four districts during the third phase of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir elections.
Following a revision of the election schedule, however, voting proceeded in three constituencies in Bagh and one in Haveli.
Polling in five constituencies of Poonch and two in Sudhanoti has been postponed, with voting in those seats to be held at a later date.
