In 2023, the Supreme Court advised the Election Commission to conduct the election before September 2024.[2]
On 8 October 2024, INDIA bloc, comprising National Conference, Congress and Communist Party of India (Marxist) won 49 seats, staking to form a government after their victory in the 2024 election.[3] On 10 October, the National Conference voted its Vice President Abdullah as its leader of the National Conference in the J&K Assembly. Later on four Independents as well as the lone MLA of the Aam Aadmi Party, Mehraj Malik declared their support to Abdullah as Chief Minister.[4][5][6] On 11 October Omar Abdullah met with the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, and was sworn in as Chief Minister on 16 October 2024.[7] The swearing-in ceremony, held at Sher-e-Kashmir International Conference Centre (SKICC), was presided over by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha. Omar was joined by Surinder Kumar Choudhary, Sakeena Masood, Javid Ahmad Dar, Javed Ahmed Rana and Satish Sharma on the dias to take the oath of office as his council of ministers.[8]
