Second Assembly Seat, Cabinet Role Among Reported Commitments Behind Naiknam Karim’s Joining PPP

Naiknam Karim, a newly elected lawmaker from Hunza who ran as a PTI-backed independent candidate in the Gilgit-Baltistan elections, has joined the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). This decision is reportedly based on a series of political and development-related commitments. One significant commitment is the promise of a second assembly seat, which implies a power-sharing arrangement or expansion within the regional government. Additionally, Karim is expected to receive a cabinet role, increasing his influence and the PPP's reach in the region. This move is important as it shifts political allegiances and could impact the power dynamics in Gilgit-Baltistan.
