The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has declared its intention to contest the forthcoming assembly byelections in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam and Nagrota constituencies. The party's decision underscores its commitment to expanding its political footprint in the region.

Scheduled for November 11, the byelections come in the wake of Budgam's vacancy following Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's choice to retain another constituency, and the death of BJP MLA Devender Singh Rana, which left Nagrota unrepresented.
