The BJP dominated the Jammu Municipal Corporation while the Congress emerged the single largest party in the Valley and Ladakh Saturday as results to the Jammu and Kashmir urban local bodies election were announced.

While the BJP emerged the clear winner in the JMC, securing 43 seats in the 75-member body against the Congress’s 26, the party lost ground in its urban strongholds, particularly in Kathua district, Chenab Valley region and Rajouri’s Kalakote area, where independents made big gains. In the 520 urban local body wards in Jammu, the BJP won 212, followed by independents (185) and Congress (110) and Panthers Party (13). While Congress is set to lead 12 municipal bodies in Kashmir, the BJP for the first time will lead six municipal bodies in the Valley, in the absence of competition from NC and PDP.
