Internal Conflicts Shake PML-N Gilgit-Baltistan Leadership

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in Gilgit-Baltistan is grappling with internal conflicts as tensions rise among party leaders and members. Disagreements over leadership, policy direction, and political strategy have fueled divisions within the regional wing of the party, threatening its unity ahead of upcoming elections. Reports suggest that factionalism has emerged, with rival groups vying for greater influence within the party’s ranks.
The ongoing rift is said to be fueled by dissatisfaction over key appointments, candidate selections, and the handling of regional political affairs. Senior party members have attempted mediation efforts, but growing frustration among workers and local leaders has made reconciliation challenging. This internal strife comes at a critical time when PML-N is aiming to strengthen its foothold in Gilgit-Baltistan amid competition from rival political parties.
Political analysts warn that prolonged infighting could weaken PML-N’s electoral prospects in the region, benefiting its opponents. Meanwhile, party leadership in Islamabad has taken notice of the situation and is expected to intervene to resolve the crisis. As tensions continue to escalate, the future political landscape of Gilgit-Baltistan remains uncertain, with the possibility of major realignments within the party.
