Sources said NC will take the first term of Chairman-cum-Chief Executive Councilor of LAHDC Kargil as it has got two more seats than the Congress. However, some Congress leaders opine that since NC was in power in the Kargil Hill Council for the last five years and was having its own chairman, the party should give Congress first term for the post of Chairman.
Akhoon said the issue of who will get the first term for Chairman’s post will be decided amicably by the party leaders of National Conference and Congress. He said the party leaders, along with the elected councilors, would select the party candidate for chairman’s post.
