Congress National Conference Alliance Claims Victory Initial trends show significant wins for the Congress-NC alliance as BJP struggles to retain its footholdJammu and Kashmir recently witnessed its first assembly elections since 2014, marking a significant moment for the region following the revocation of its special status under Article 370. Initial results indicate the Congress-National Conference (NC) alliance is leading the charge, with projections showing they could fetch upwards of 52 seats out of the 90-member assembly. The National Conference, driven by leaders like Omar Abdullah, significantly outperformed expectations, winning key seats such as Hazratbal, Gurez, and Zadibal. The BJP's focus on retaining its foothold primarily centered around Jammu, where results showed them leading on several seats. Despite this, they struggled to make any substantial impact in the valley, where the NC and Congress have shown stronger voter appeal.
