The second Omar Abdullah ministry is formed on 16 October 2024, following the elections of Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly in 2024, with Omar Abdullah as Chief Minister.

Background

In 2018, following the dissolution of Mehbooba Mufti ministry, the Government of India imposed President's rule in Jammu and Kashmir. After 2019 Lok Sabha election, the BJP government revoked Article 370 and Article 35A in Jammu and Kashmir, which gave its semi-autonomous status and degraded as a Union Territory along with Ladakh.[1]

Under Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, the upper house (Legislative Council) is dissolved. The delimitation commission in 2022, recommended re-redistricting the seats to 90 members. In 2023, the Supreme Court advised the Election Commission to conduct the election before September 2024[2].

On 8 October 2024, Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, INC and Communist Party (Marxist) (part of Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) won 49 seats, staking to form a government.[3]

Election of the Leader of the House

On 10 October, the National Conference voted its Vice President Abdullah as its leader of the National Conference in the J&K Assembly. Six Congress, four Independent (Pyare Lal Sharma, Satish Sharma, Choudhary Mohammed Akram, and Dr Rameshwar Singh - who won the Inderwal, Chhamb, Surankote, and Bani respectively), and a lone member of Communist Party of India (Marxist) Mohammed Yousuf Tarigami declared his support to Abdullah as Chief Minister. On 11 October Aam Aadmi Party member Mehraj Malik also gave it's consent to support Abdullah as Chief Minister.[4][5][6] Omar Abdullah met with the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, on 11 October and is expected to be sworn in as Chief Minister on 16 October 2024.[7] Later another Independent MLA and former JKNC politician Muzaffar Iqbal Khan gave it's support to Abdullah.[8] On 14 October 2024, it was confirmed that Omar Abdullah will be sworn in as chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir on 16 October 2024.[9]
