This election holds great significance as it is the first since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, which bifurcated the former state into the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference and Congress jointly fought the electoral battle, while the People’s Democratic Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party contested independently.
