India -administered Kashmir has elected its first government since the region was brought under New Delhi’s direct control five years ago .

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government scrapped Kashmir 's special constitutional status in 2019 .

The revocation of semi-autonomy sparked protests in the restive Muslim -majority region, which has struggled with an Islamist insurgency for decades .

Many residents hope for the restoration of the region's statehood.

Wani said he doesn't expect a major confrontation between Kashmiri leaders and New Delhi over the issue of statehood. The political class in Kashmir "has been bereft of power for a long time," he noted, adding, "they will prioritize survival over all-out confrontation." "We may see a graded confrontational approach, where the new government will also keep some channels of accommodation open," said Wani .
