The Election Commission of India has announced assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, set to begin on September 18 and run in three phases, with results to be declared on October 4. National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah expressed optimism about the elections, advocating for fairness and a level playing field, while also confirming his candidacy. Union Home Minister Amit Shah praised the move as a significant step towards restoring democracy and development in the region. Political parties, including the Congress and CPI(M), welcomed the decision, although some, like the PDP, criticized it as insufficient without restoring full statehood. Concerns were raised about recent administrative reshuffles which could impact the electoral process, with party leaders urging the Election Commission to ensure transparency and security. Overall, the elections are seen as a long-awaited return to democratic governance after a decade of central rule following the abrogation of Article 370.
