The Bharatiya Janata Party registered a major win in the 6th LAHDC Leh general council elections on Monday by wresting 15 out of 26 seats. The Indian National Congress (INC) won 9 seats and two seats went to independent candidates. The new entrant Arvind Kejriwal�s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) failed to open its account.

After winning the majority of seats, the saffron party is set to regain control over Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council-Leh for a second term.
In 2010 LAHDC Leh elections, the BJP had won 18 seats. The Indian National Congress this time improved its tally by four seats. In the previous polls it had got five seats only.
