The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) secured a simple majority in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Legislative Assembly elections, winning 23 of the 45 seats following the second phase of voting. The PML-N's success included significant gains in the Muzaffarabad division and among the reserved refugee seats. The election process faced delays in certain constituencies due to landslides and adverse weather.

While the PML-N announced its majority, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) rejected the results, alleging the mandate was fraudulent. The political tension extended to national politics, as PPP leadership raised concerns regarding the stability of the federal government.

Following the initial phases, the PML-N positioned itself to potentially achieve a two-thirds majority, noting it required only six additional seats. As the election proceeded into subsequent phases, the AJK Election Commission monitored local sit-ins and situation reviews to determine polling dates for remaining districts.
