The Congress-National Conference alliance has crossed the halfway mark and secured 49 seats out of 90, winning the Assembly elections and is set to form the government. Of these, 42 seats belong to the National Conference, 6 to the Indian National Congress and one to the Communist Party of India (Marxist) - CPI (M).
"Omar Abdullah Banega J&K Chief Minister," National Conference's Farooq Abdullah announced after a strong showing in Jammu and Kashmir polls. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was proud of the BJP's performance in the Union Territory, adding, "I thank all those who have voted for our Party and placed their trust in us."
The assembly elections for its 90 constituencies were held in three phases - September 18, September 25, and October 1 - after a gap of 10 years. This is also the first time Jammu and Kashmir had assembly elections since Article 370 was abolished in August 2019, which divided the former state into the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.

The counting of votes began today at 8 am, with heavy security arrangements in place.
Here are the Highlights of the Jammu and Kashmir Election Results 2024:
Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Elections: 2 Ex-Deputy Chief Ministers, BJP Chief Among Big Faces Who Lost
Many key candidates and bigwigs, including two former deputy chief ministers and ex-ministers, lost the maiden assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370, as the National Conference (NC) emerged as the single largest party with 42 seats.
Former deputy chief minister Muzaffar Hussain Baig was among the 24 candidates in Baramulla constituency whose deposits were forfeited.
The seat was won by his nephew Javid Hussain Baig who polled 22,523 votes, while Muzaffar Baig, a former MP as well, stood at a distant third by securing just 5,872 votes.
Another former deputy chief minister Tara Chand, a Congress candidate from Chhamb seat in the Jammu region, lost to independent candidate Satish Sharma. Chand stood in the third place.
Among the prominent names who lost the polls are former minister and ex-JKPCC president Vaqar Rasool, J-K BJP president Ravinder Raina, former minister and JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla, and former ministers Abdul Rehman Veeri, Altaf Bukhari, Usman Majid, Chowdhary Lal Singh, Manohar Lal Sharma, Chowdhary Zulfiqar Ali, Harsh Dev Singh, Ghulam Nabi Lone, Ghulam Hassan Mir, Chowdhary Mohammad Ramzan, and Asiea Naqash.
Jammu And Kashmir Elections Result: Engineer Rashid's Party Fails To Deliver In J&K Assembly Polls
The Awami Ittehad Party led by Sheikh Abdul Rashid alias Engineer Rashid, who proved a giant slayer after he defeated former chief minister Omar Abdullah in the 2024 parliamentary elections, has failed to make much impact in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly polls.
Rashid, who won while incarcerated in Tihar Jail on terror funding charges, attempted to demonstrate that his parliamentary win was not merely a fluke. However, he failed to strike a chord with the voters in the first assembly polls after the abrogation of Article 370.
After being granted interim bail on September 10, the Baramulla MP was allowed to campaign until October 2. His bail was later extended, enabling him to actively participate in the electoral process.
Despite his efforts, the majority of candidates associated with his party lost their deposits, indicating a clear disapproval from the electorate.
The Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) had fielded 44 candidates. Even prominent figures, including AIP spokesperson Firdous Baba and businessman Sheikh Ashiq Hussain, lost the polls.
