Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Tanveer Ilyas and barrister Sultan Mahmood are striving to become the Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).

According to unofficial results, the PTI has won 25 constituencies, the PPP 10 and the PML-N six.

Sardar Tanveer Ilyas, a newcomer to Azad Jammu and Kashmir politics, is said to be a “strong” candidate for the PM’s post.

PTI sources said that former AJK Prime Minister Barrister Sultan Mahmood has expressed anger over the possibility of not being given the post.

In this regard, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry was contacted and said that both the candidates were being considered for the post of AJK Prime Minister but “the final decision will be taken by Prime Minister Imran Khan”.
