Srinagar, J&K: In a significant political development, Omar Abdullah, vice president of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC), announced today that he has been elected as the leader of the party’s Legislature Party. This decision was taken during a meeting of the National Conference legislators, where Abdullah received unanimous support from the party’s Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs).
Expressing his gratitude to the MLAs, Omar Abdullah said, “Today in the meeting of the National Conference Legislature Party, I have been elected as the leader of the Legislature Party. I express my gratitude to the MLAs for their trust in me.”
Abdullah also revealed that talks are underway to secure a letter of support from the Congress party, which could further strengthen the NC’s position. In addition to this, four independent MLAs have extended their support to the National Conference, increasing the party’s numbers.
“Currently, the National Conference has 42 MLAs, and with the support of 4 independent MLAs, our strength has grown. Once we receive the official letter of support from the Congress party, we will move forward to stake our claim to form the government,” Abdullah said.
The next step in this political process will involve approaching the Raj Bhavan, where the National Conference is expected to formally stake its claim to form the government in Jammu and Kashmir. With Congress’s backing and support from independent MLAs, the National Conference is aiming to consolidate its position in the state’s political landscape.
This development comes at a critical time for Jammu and Kashmir, with the possibility of a new government shaping the future of the union territory. Omar Abdullah’s leadership within the party is seen as a key factor in navigating the current political climate.
