Jammu, Oct 8: Ten years after losing power from a full-fledged state, the National Conference is going to form the first government in the Union Territory with the support of the Congress and some Independents.
The NC has won 42 seats and Congress secured six seats along with a seat of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) CPIM. All these parties have entered into a pre-poll alliance.
While the NC emerged as the single-largest party, the BJP emerged as the second single-largest party with 29 seats in its kitty.
The BJP has won 29 seats, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has secured three seats and seven seats have gone to the Independents across the Union Territory.
The last time the National Conference had entered into an alliance with the Congress in 2008 assembly elections and Omar Abdullah was elected as Chief Minister of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.
NC-Congress alliance lost power in 2014 and now the alliance has secured a majority but the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir has turned into a UT.
The NC-Congress forged a pre-poll alliance this time, with the National Conference contesting 51 of the 90 Assembly seats and the Congress fielding candidates on 32. The two partners had “friendly contests” in five other constituencies. One seat was left for the CPI(M) and another for the J&K National Panthers Party. |
