Awami Ittehad Party (abbr. JKAIP) is an Indian political party in Jammu and Kashmir union territory. Founded in 2013 by Engineer Rashid, the party has been active in local politics, including the 2024 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election.
While the Jammu and Kashmir Awami Ittehad Party presents itself as an alternative to traditional political forces in the region, some political commentators have speculated that it may have ties to or be indirectly sponsored by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), possibly acting as a proxy. However, the party leadership has consistently denied these claims, asserting its independence and focus on regional issues.
