PoK election second phase: PML-N bags 14 seats amid protests, military scrutiny and India's criticism

PML-N won 14 of 18 seats in the second phase of PoK elections, with PPP winning the remaining 4.

All 12 reserved seats for refugees went to polls, sparking protests over alleged distortion of representation.

At least 40 people were killed in a crackdown by Pakistani security forces on protesters over two days.

India rejected the elections as a 'cosmetic exercise' to legitimize its 'illegal occupation' of the region.

Polling in two seats was postponed due to landslides and bad weather.
