“People of Ladakh have spoken”: Mehbooba Mufti on LAHDC election

Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India]: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday congratulated the National Conference and Congress for their “victory” in Kargil and said that “people of Ladakh” have spoken.

“Heartening to see secular parties like NC and Congress register their victory in Kargil. It’s the first election post-2019 and people of Ladakh have spoken,” Mufti said in a post on ‘X’ following the results of some seats in the fifth Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) Election.

Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir National Conference workers celebrated as the party won two seats in the election. The counting of votes is still underway.

“We have a lot of expectations, but let us wait for the results…,” National Conference Chief Farooq Abdullah said speaking to reporters about their victory in the LAHDC election.
The counting of votes started for LAHDC elections amid high-security arrangements on Sunday.

This time, 65 per cent of voters turned up in the Kargil district as per the cumulative figure of 3rd round of voting for the 5th LAHDC elections.

Earlier last month, the Ladakh administration announced a new schedule for elections to the fifth LAHDC in the Kargil region, following a directive by the Supreme Court.

This notification came after the Supreme Court, while restoring the National Conference’s party symbol for the upcoming election, also set aside the Union Territory administration’s previous election notification since National Conference candidates had not been able to file nominations. As per the notification, elections to 26 seats of the 30-member LAHDC were held on October 4.
