National Conference (NC) Vice President Omar Abdullah expressed optimism on Tuesday and hoped for a positive outcome as the election results were awaited.
The NC leader also extended his best wishes to colleagues and allies, saying, “We fought the good fight & now, InshaAllah, the results will reflect that." His remarks came at a critical juncture as the region awaits the final tally of votes following the recently concluded Assembly elections .
A day earlier, Omar Abdullah had sought to deny rumours about the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) offering support to the National Conference.
He emphasised the need to wait for the official results before jumping to conclusions and termed the speculations as premature. His comments were in response to his father, Farooq Abdullah ’s statement that the NC-Congress alliance might accept support from the PDP, even if it wasn’t required, as they should "go ahead together."
He took the matter to social media platform X and wrote, “They haven’t extended support, they haven’t offered support and we don’t know what the voters have decided yet, so I really wish we could put a lid on all this premature speculation for the next 24 hours.”
In the recently concluded Assembly elections, the Election Commission of India reported an overall voter turnout of 63.88 per cent across three phases. The final phase, held on October 1, saw a voter turnout of 69.69 per cent. This was the first Assembly election in Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370, marking a significant moment in the Union Territory’s political landscape.
The NC and Congress, as part of the INDIA-bloc , contested the elections jointly, while the PDP and BJP ran independently.
Remarkably, the elections saw a notable rise in voter participation in regions previously marked by militancy and electoral boycotts.
