In the current election for the Jammu and Kashmir assembly, the National Conference-Congress alliance seems to be taking the lead on 46 seats, while the BJP is leading on 23 seats, as per the initial trends. The Election Commission has uploaded these trends, showing that the PDP is ahead in three seats, while eight seats are being led by Independent candidates.
At this point, the National Conference is leading on 39 seats, with its ally Congress ahead on seven seats. These trends have been uploaded by the Election Commission for 64 out of the 90 seats in the Union territory. Other parties such as the Bahujan Samaj Party, CPI, Peoples Conference, and Democratic Progressive Azad Party are also leading on one seat each.
Some well-known leaders who are currently leading include National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah, who is leading on both seats, Pradesh Congress president Tariq Hameed Karra, AICC general Secretary Ghulam Ahmad Mir, CPI leader M Y Tarigami, and BJP's former minister Sham Lal Sharma and Devender Singh Rana.
However, J-K BJP president Ravinder Raina seems to be trailing by 2,797 votes to his nearest National Conference rival Surinder Choudhary from the Nowshera constituency. The counting of votes began at 8 am at 28 counting centres for the 90 seats of Jammu and Kashmir assembly, which were contested in three phases.
The Election Commission will continue to update the trends as more votes are counted and the final results will determine the party that will form the government in Jammu and Kashmir. This election has been closely watched by citizens and political analysts, as it marks the first assembly election in the state since it was granted Union territory status in 2019. All eyes are on the candidates and their parties as the results continue to pour in.
