Title
Electoral Politics and Voting Behavior in Gilgit-Baltistan: An Analysis of Skardu (2009-2020)
Author(s)
Syed Zulqarnain Hussaini
Abstract
Electoral politics is the backbone of any democratic state. As defined by Abraham Lincoln, democracy is rule by people, for people and of people. No democratic state can function in its earnest without a proper system of elections. It is only through elections and free and fair elections that the people and their aspirations can be represented in the upper echelons of the power in the state. Like other parts of Pakistan, elections have been holding in Gilgit-Baltistan since 1970 though it is a disputed area and the region has no representation both in the Senate and the National assembly of Pakistan.

Electoral politics is the backbone of any democratic state. As defined by Abraham Lincoln, democracy is rule by people, for people and of people. No democratic state can function in its earnest without a proper system of elections. It is only through elections and free and fair elections that the people and their aspirations can be represented in the upper echelons of the power in the state. Like other parts of Pakistan, elections have been holding in Gilgit-Baltistan since 1970 though it is a disputed area and the region has no representation both in the Senate and the National assembly of Pakistan. Under GB empowerment and Self-Government Order 2009, Gilgit-Baltistan has been given a semi provincial set up with its own legislative assembly, a Chief Minister and its Cabinet. The tenure of the Assembly is five years and after every five years elections are held in GB.
