The forthcoming Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir are set to be a historic event for the legislature, which has been under Governor's rule for an extended period. The National Conference (NC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are major contenders with significant support, while the BJP and Congress are also competing for influence. Given that critical issues such as statehood, security, and economic development are on the table, these elections will be pivotal in shaping the region’s political future and governance following the abrogation of Article 370.
