Early Times Report

Srinagar, Oct 8: First time after the 1996 Assembly elections, the National Conference completely swept Kashmir Valley by winning a majority of the 47 seats.
Wave of the National Conference in the Kashmir Valley can be gauged from the fact that party leader Omar Abdullah won from both Budgam and Ganderbal seats comfortably.
While Congress won five seats of Kashmir with the support of the NC and CPIM candidate also emerged victorious with the help the NC.
The PDP, which is an arch-rival of the NC in Kashmir Valley, is confined to only three seats. One seat each was won by the Peoples Conference and Awami Ittehad Party. One Independent Shabir Ahmed Kullay won from Shopian seat.
