Political Purge EC Axes 12 More J&K Parties For Failing To Contest Elections
Kashmir Observer
|SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 ISSUE
Nearly a month after delisting three J&K-based parties, the Election Commission on Friday deregistered 12 more political parties from the Union Territory.
According to an official order, a copy of which is in possession of Kashmir Observer, the poll body struck off the registration of 12 parties that failed to contest any election in Jammu & Kashmir over the past six years.
These parties did not participate in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, or the 2024 Assembly polls—the three electoral exercises conducted by the Election Commission since 2019 in J&K.
