Despite plans by the Election Commission to visit the region, political parties are concerned that the BJP might delay the polls further, holding them at their own convenience. Senior PDP leader and former minister Ghulam Nabi Lone (Hanjura) stated that the party has been waiting for elections for the past five years. "We don't know when polls will be held here." He added, "It is up to the convenience of the BJP. When they decide that elections need to be held, they will hold them; otherwise, they will delay them.
