Context of the Elections
The political landscape in Jammu and Kashmir has been significantly affected since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, which revoked the region’s special status and restructured it into two Union Territories: Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
The upcoming elections are crucial as they will determine the future governance of the region, which has seen various political parties, including the Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party, gearing up for a competitive electoral process.
This announcement marks a significant step for the Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party as it seeks to establish its presence in the newly structured political environment of the region.
