DDC poll counting underway in J&K


Srinagar, Dec 22 (KNS): Counting of votes for the recently concluded Jammu and Kashmir District Development Council (DDC) elections is underway. The fate of nearly 2,181 candidates for the 280 District Development Council (DDC) seats in Jammu and Kashmir will be decided today. The elections, held in eight phases, began on November 28 and ended on December 19.
Seven political parties, including the National Conference and the Peoples Democratic Party, contested the polls in an alliance, under the banner of the Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) formed for restoration of Article 370.
The Congress was initially a part of the PAGD but distanced itself when the BJP targeted the opposition party for being in league with the ‘Gupkar Gang’.
