GILGIT, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 13th Jul, 2023 ) :The newly elected Chief Minister of Gilgit-Baltistan, Haji Gulbar Khan took the oath of his office on Thursday, Governor Syed Mehdi Shah administered the oath.

Haji Gulbar Khan hails from the remote district of Diamer in Gilgit-Baltistan.
He first entered the Legislative Assembly of Gilgit-Baltistan as a member on the ticket of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam during the November 2009 elections. In 2009, he served as the Health Minister in the coalition government of the Pakistan Peoples Party.
In the 2015 elections, he faced defeat at the hands of the candidate from the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.
