Polling was disrupted by stone-pelting, gunfire and deteriorating law-and-order situation, preventing many registered voters from casting their ballots.

Despite around 200 votes being cast, a large number of voters were unable to exercise their right to vote. Polling staff were later evacuated under security protection.

Re-polling at the Loshi Thak women’s polling station will be held on June 15, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., without any break.

The Returning Officer for GBA-15 will personally supervise the arrangements.
