Omar Abdullah Set to Take Oath as Jammu & Kashmir CM on October 16

The National Conference-Congress alliance prepares to form the first elected government in J&K since the abrogation of Article 370.

Omar Abdullah is expected to be sworn in as Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir next week, marking his second term in office.
The National Conference (NC) and Congress alliance holds a majority in the 90-member assembly, with support from CPI(M), AAP, and independents.
The new government will be the first since the abrogation of Article 370, with a focus on restoring J&K's statehood.
Abdullah faces challenges in maintaining regional balance between Muslim-majority Kashmir and Hindu-dominated Jammu, especially with BJP's strong presence in Jammu.
The upcoming oath-taking ceremony will see leaders from the INDIA bloc invited, highlighting the political significance of the event.
