]]> In the inaugural election conducted in Jammu and Kashmir subsequent to the repeal of Article 370 in 2019, the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Council elections in Kargil witnessed the triumph of the Congress and the National Conference alliance over the BJP. As the tally of votes for the 26-seat Ladakh Council continued, the Congress and the National Conference significantly outpaced the BJP. The Congress won ten of the twenty-six seats, while the National Conference won twelve, making it the party with the most members. Only two seats were gained by the BJP, while two were won by independent candidates.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Congress credits Ladakh council poll success to Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’

Kargil All Set For 1st Ladakh Key Polls Since Article 370 Was Scrapped

Mehbooba Mufti, the leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, expressed heartenment at the victories of secular parties such as the Congress and the NC in Kargil. The election was not contested by the PDP. “It is encouraging to see secular parties such as the NC and Congress secure a victory in Kargil.” “The people of Ladakh have spoken in the first election since 2019,” Mehbooba Mufti wrote, as early indications pointed to a decisive victory for the alliance.

As of the third round of voting for the fifth LAHDC elections, approximately 65% of eligible electors participated in the Kargil district.

In response to a Supreme Court directive, the Ladakh administration unveiled a revised timetable for the fifth LAHDC elections in the Kargil region earlier last month.

Congress-NC wins Ladakh in first poll following Article 370 repeal

Following the restoration of the National Conference’s party symbol for the forthcoming election by the Supreme Court, the Union Territory administration’s prior election notification was vacated on the grounds that National Conference candidates were unable to submit nominations. On October 4, elections were conducted for 26 seats of the 30-member LAHDC, as stated in the notification.

The current council is presided over by Feroz Ahmad Khan of the NC. The Congress and the NC collaborated prior to the election, resulting in the fielding of 22 candidates. NC put forth 17. Both parties stated that the arrangement was limited to regions where the BJP faced a formidable opponent.

Having won one seat in the previous election and subsequently three with the addition of two PDP councillors, the BJP fielded seventeen candidates this time around. In the race for four seats, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) vied for support alongside twenty-five independent candidates.

Wae-up call for BJP: Omar Abdullah

Omar Abdullah, leader of the National Conference, congratulated the people of Ladakh on their victory and warned the BJP that this should serve as a wake-up call. “Instead of hiding behind the Raj Bhawan and unelected representatives, it is time to recognize the legitimate desire of the people of Jammu and Kashmir for a democratically elected government.” “The voices of the people must be heard and respected in a democratic society,” Omar tweeted.
