The story so far: The Lieutenant Governor-led administration of Ladakh has announced back-to-back elections in the Union Territory. The three-tier polls — hill councils, panchayat and municipal elections — will be held in the next one month. While the panchayat and municipal elections are slated for November 21, the hill council elections will be held on December 4.
Ladakh is a U.T. without a legislature. So, these elections are key to provide platforms to public representatives in the region. However, the short window provided by the State Election Commission (SEC) is likely to make it hard for political parties to chart the course for their campaigning and enter into possible alliances.
