Omar Abdullah swearing-in Updates: Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections were held in three phases from September 18 to October 1. The results were declared on October 8. The NC won 42 out of the 90 seats while the Congress won six. Together, the two pre-poll allies hold a majority in the 95-member assembly — five members are to be nominated by the LG. Their strength is further bolstered by the support from five Independent MLAs-elect and a lone AAP MLA-elect. His first term as the CM of Jammu and Kashmir was from 2009 to 2014. At that time J-K was a state. In 2019, Article 370 was abrogated and later the state was divided into two UTs J-K and Ladakh.
