Kargil LAHDC councillors file no confidence as CEC allegedly refuses rotational power deal

CEC reportedly won’t resign even after the agreed end date

Councillors in Kargil’s LAHDC have submitted a no-confidence motion against Chief Executive Councillor Mohammad Jaffar Akhoon of the National Conference, citing a breakdown in a rotational power-sharing agreement with the Congress-NC alliance. The coalition had won 22 of 26 seats in 2023, with Akhoon’s CEC tenure ending April 18. Congress leader Asgar Ali Karbalai alleges Akhoon refuses to step down despite repeated requests, and claims the motion has majority support, triggering a floor test.
