Sources said that the party is not in a hurry to announce candidate for the Ladakh Lok Sabha seat because party leadership is trying to take prominent Buddhist leaders on the board before finalizing the candidate for the only seat of Ladakh.
For two successive Lok Sabha elections, the BJP has won the Ladakh Parliamentary seat. In the 2014 Lok Sabha election veteran politician of Ladakh Thupstan Chhewang had won this seat as BJP candidate by a margin of only 36 votes.
Earlier in 2004, Chhewang had won this seat as an Independent candidate.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections the BJP candidate Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, who was then sitting Chairman-cum-CEC of LAHDC Leh recorded an impressive victory margin of 10,930 votes over NC, PDP, and Islamiya School Kargil joint candidate, Sajjad Kargili. Namgayal polled 42,914 votes as against Sajjad Karigili’s 31984.
Two other candidates in the fray in Ladakh were Haji Asgar Karbalaie, former Congress MLA from Kargil, and Rigzin Spalbar (Congress) finished third and fourth with 29365 and 21241 votes respectively. Karbalaie had contested the election as an Independent.
