National Conference leader Omar Abdullah on Wednesday took oath as the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, eight days after the NC-Congress alliance came to power in the assembly elections.
Abdullah became the Chief Minister of the inaugural government in Jammu and Kashmir, which is now a union territory, since Article 370 was abrogated by the Centre on August 5, 2019.
In its historic elections, NC-Congress won 48 seats (42 of NC and 6 of Congress) with majority of them yielded from the Kashmir valley while the Bharatiya Janata Party swept the Jammu region winning 29 seats.
