'''Ladakh Union Territory Front''' ('''LUTF''') was formed in 2002 as a conglomerate of political parties in [[Ladakh]] in [[India]].<ref>{{cite web | last=Shakspo | first=Nawang Tsering | title=Ladakh’s journey from Wazarat to Union Territory | website=Reach Ladakh | date=2020-03-19 | url=https://www.reachladakh.com/news/oped-page/ladakh-s-journey-from-wazarat-to-union-territory | access-date=2020-10-04}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | last=Irfan | first=Shams | title=FAULTLINE LADAKH | website=Kashmir Life | date=2009-08-01 | url=https://kashmirlife.net/faultline-ladakh-361/ | access-date=2020-10-04}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=Leh Observed Shutdown To Demand Union Territory | website=Kashmir Life | date=2018-11-26 | url=https://kashmirlife.net/leh-observed-shutdown-to-demand-union-territory-193223/ | access-date=2020-10-04}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/ladakhis-ecstatic-after-government-proposes-union-territory-status/story-nnizyj4AaqjE3dPkOHhXXM.html|title=Ladakhis ecstatic after government proposes Union Territory status|date=5 August 2019|website=Hindustan Times}}</ref>

==Objective==
Its basic objective was to fight for the [[Union Territory]] status for [[Ladakh]]. A consortium of political parties formed in 2002 decided that a regional party shall be formed under a single flag and carry the struggle for the Union territory status for Ladakh. Things changed when few of the nominated candidates shifted sides and joined [[Indian National Congress]] (INC). Since then a kind of bipartisan politics begun in Ladakh between the LUTF and the Indian National Congress.

===Merger===
In 2010, when the elections for LAHDC, Leh, was round the corner, LUTF merged into [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP). Consequently, BJP got a crushing defeat in the hands of INC in the 2010 elections, winning only 4 out of 26 seats.

==Fulfillment of demand==
In August 2019, the [[Parliament of India]] passed an [[Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019|act]] by which Ladakh became a union territory on 31 October 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/ladakh-celebrates-1st-independence-day-after-becoming-union-territory-watch/1676609/|title=Ladakh celebrates ‘1st Independence Day’ after becoming union territory – watch|date=15 August 2019}}</ref>
