President's Rule Ends in Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah to Lead New Government

The National Conference-Congress alliance is set to form a government after a decade-long gap, with Omar Abdullah taking oath as Chief Minister on October 16.

The Union Home Ministry issued a gazette notification revoking President's rule in Jammu and Kashmir, effective immediately before the chief minister's appointment.
Omar Abdullah, Vice President of the National Conference, will be sworn in as Chief Minister on October 16, leading the new government.
The National Conference-Congress alliance secured a majority in the recent assembly elections, winning a combined total of 48 seats.
Support from independent MLAs and the Aam Aadmi Party bolstered the alliance's position, reaching a total of 55 seats in the 90-member assembly.
The elections were the first since the abrogation of Article 370 and the reorganization of the former state into union territories in 2019.
