Previously, Jammu and Kashmir, including Ladakh, had six Lok Sabha constituencies. However, following the abrogation of Article 370 by the Parliament, Ladakh no longer has a Lok Sabha constituency.
In the 2019 elections, the BJP won three seats, while the National Conference won the remaining three.
This election marks the first since the Supreme Court ruling last year, which upheld the Parliament's decision to abrogate Article 370 and bifurcate the state into two union territories. The court also directed the Election Commission of India to hold the next assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir before September 30th, 2024.
Amidst the Central government's efforts to promote 'Naya Kashmir' through infrastructural development, welfare schemes, and reduced terrorism, Jammu and Kashmir will undergo its first general elections commencing from Udhampur.
