Right-wing party wins PoK elections

The right-wing Muslim Conference of Sardar Abdul Qayyum Khan on Friday emerged as the most powerful party, winning 21 out of 40 seats, in the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) assembly elections held on Thursday.

Its closest rival, Benazir Bhutto's Pakistan's Peoples Party (PPP) got 15 seats, while independent candidates won 3.

One seat was won by a Pakistan Muslim League (PML) candidate.

In 1996, the Muslim Conference had lost to the liberal PPP.
