President's rule


The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly has been dissolved since November 2018. As of January 2023, no new election has been scheduled. The election is expected to take place in 2023, after the delimitation exercise is completed.[1][2]

The next elections would be the first since 2014 and the first since the territory's temporary special status was revoked and its statehood withdrawn in 2019.[3]

Background[edit]

Following the 2014 elections, the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) formed a coalition government. In 2018 the BJP pulled out and withdrew its support from the government. Governor's rule was subsequently applied. In 2019 Article 370 of the Constitution of India, which gave temporary special status to Jammu and Kashmir, was abrogated. The state was split into two union territories, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.

Delimitation[edit]

In March 2020, a three-member Delimitation Commission was formed, chaired by retired Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, for the delimitation of the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.[4] The commission published its interim report in February 2022.[5]

On 5 May 2022, the Foreign Office of Pakistan handed over a demarche to the Indian Charge d’Affaires. It conveyed the Government of Pakistan’s categorical rejection of the ‘Delimitation Commission’ report, which it said "was aimed at disenfranchising and disempowering the Muslim majority population" of Jammu and Kashmir.[6]
