The LAHDC Kargil election on October 4, 2023, was significant, occurring after the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status in 2019. Legal disputes over election symbols and fierce campaigning marked the event. The Congress and JKNC alliance claimed victory, focusing on the region's dissatisfaction with Union Territory status. Voter turnout increased to 78%, with the return of the migrant population. The election results reflected discontent with the decision to designate Ladakh as a Union Territory. The LAHDC's authority has diminished, causing widespread dissatisfaction among the locals. The extension of the Sixth Schedule to Ladakh, recommended by the NCST, remains uncertain, adding to the region's grievances.
