The Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections concluded with a significant victory for the Congress-National Conference (NC) alliance, which is projected to secure over 50 seats in the 90-member assembly. This election marks the first assembly polls in J&K since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019 and follows a decade-long hiatus from such elections. Voter turnout was reported at 63.45%, reflecting a robust engagement despite previous challenges. The BJP, while expected to perform better than in 2014, faced setbacks, including losses for key leaders.

Congress-NC Alliance Triumphs

The recently concluded Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections have resulted in a decisive win for the Congress-NC alliance, with early counts showing them leading in more than 50 constituencies. Notable victories include Omar Abdullah of the NC in Budgam and Tariq Hameed Karra of Congress in Central Shalteng. Abdullah expressed optimism about forming a stable government, stating, “We are ready to work towards a progressive and peaceful Jammu and Kashmir.” The BJP, which had previously held a significant number of seats, is projected to retain only around 20, indicating a shift in voter sentiment.

Context of the Elections

This election is particularly historic as it is the first assembly election since the abrogation of Article 370, which revoked J&K’s special status in 2019. The voting took place in three phases between September 18 and October 1, with heightened security measures due to the region’s complex political landscape. The overall voter turnout was commendable at 63.45%, slightly below the previous elections but significantly higher than recent Lok Sabha polls. The electoral atmosphere was charged, with various parties vying for influence amid ongoing discussions about governance and representation.

The Logical Indian’s Perspective

The Logical Indian views this electoral outcome as a crucial step towards restoring democratic processes in Jammu and Kashmir. While we celebrate the return of an elected government, it is vital that all parties prioritise dialogue and cooperation to foster peace and stability in the region. As new leadership emerges, how can they ensure that every voice is heard and represented?
