The main points in Namgyal’s agenda include statehood for Ladakh , establishment of a public service commission there and separate Lok Sabha seats for Leh and Kargil districts as well as exclusive rights over resources in Ladakh for the indigenous people, land rights, and job reservations.

The lone Ladakh Lok Sabha seat has Leh, a Buddhist-dominated district with 88,877 voters and Kargil, with 95,926 voters who are predominantly Shia Muslim.  

In Ladakh's political arena, BJP's incumbent MP, Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, reaffirmed his allegiance to the party by extending support to candidate Tashi Gyalson, following internal disagreements.

Sitting BJP MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal has decided to run as an Independent and the National Conference is pressurising its INDIA Bloc partner Congress to field a candidate from Kargil instead of Leh.
