Claim
The previous Gilgit government's term ended last November, no elections were held, Shehbaz Sharif installed a caretaker chief minister, and elections are now being held after 7 months with voting on 7 June.
“गिलगिट में पुरानी सरकार का कार्यकाल पिछले साल नवंबर में ही खत्म हो गया था। लेकिन यहां चुनाव नहीं कराए गए। शबाज शरीफ ने वहां केयरटेकर चीफ मिनिस्टर बनाकर सत्ता अपने हाथ में ले ली और अब 7 महीने के बाद चुनाव हो रहे हैं। 7 जून को वोटिंग होनी है।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Every stated sub-detail checks out: term ended November 2025, no elections then held, a Shehbaz/Zardari-appointed caretaker CM took over, voting occurred on 7 June 2026, and November-to-June is roughly the stated seven months. (The delay was officially attributed to weather, but that does not contradict any asserted fact.)
