<P> "The territory of the State shall comprise all the territories which on the fifteenth day of August 1947, were under the sovereignty or suzerainty of the Ruler of the State" and Section 48 therein states that, "Notwithstanding anything contained in section 47, until the area of the State under the occupations of Pakistan ceases to so occupied and the people residing in that area elect their representatives (a) twenty - five seats in the Legislative Assembly shall remain vacant and shall not be taken into account for reckoning the total member - ship of the Assembly; and the said area shall be excluded in delimiting the territorial Constituencies Under Section 47". </P> <P> After a delimitation in 1988, the total number of seats increased to 111, of which 87 were within Indian - administered territory . The Jammu & Kashmir Assembly is the only state in India to have a 6 - year term, in contrast to the norm of a 5 - year term followed in every other state's Assembly . There was indication from the previous INC Government to bring parity with the other states, but this does not seem to have received the required support to pass into law . </P> <P> Influential political parties include the Jammu & Kashmir National Conference (NC), the Indian National Congress (INC), the Jammu and Kashmir People's Democratic Party (PDP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and other smaller regional parties . After dominating Kashmir's politics for years, the National Conference's influence waned in 2002, when INC and PDP formed a political alliance and rose to power . Under the power - sharing agreement, INC leader Ghulam Nabi Azad replaced PDP's Mufti Mohammad Sayeed as the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir in late 2005 . However, in 2008, PDP withdrew its support from the government on the issue of temporary diversion of nearly 40 acres (16 ha) of land to the Sri Amarnath Shrine Board . In the 2008 Kashmir Elections that were held from 17 November to 24 December, the National Conference party and the Congress party together won enough seats in the state assembly to form a ruling alliance . In the 2014 election, the voter turnout was recorded at 65%--the highest in the history of the state . The results gave a fractured mandate to either parties--the PDP won 28 seats, BJP 25, NC 15 and INC 12 . After 2 months of deliberations and president's rule, the BJP and the PDP announced an agreement for a coalition government, and PDP patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed was sworn - in as CM for a second term, with Nirmal Singh of the BJP sworn - in as deputy CM . This also marked the first time in 35 years that the BJP was a coalition partner in the state government . </P> <P> The state has two autonomous councils in Ladakh, these are the LAHDC Leh and LAHDC Kargil . </P>
