Election Results 2024 Live Updates: Omar Abdullah Poised for J&K CM Role; Vinesh Phogat Triumphs in Julana

As the results of the 2024 assembly elections pour in, the political landscape in Jammu and Kashmir is taking shape, with the National Conference (NC) and Congress alliance crossing the crucial majority mark of 51 seats. In contrast, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is currently ahead on 23 seats, having secured 6 wins. This election marks a significant shift, as it is the first assembly election in Jammu and Kashmir in a decade and the first since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019.

Meanwhile, in Haryana, the ruling BJP is leading with 50 seats against Congress, which has a stronghold on 35 seats. The election turnout was notable, with 68% in Haryana and 63.88% in Jammu and Kashmir, reflecting increased voter engagement compared to previous elections.

Prominent figures, including former J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, are set to regain power, while newcomer Vinesh Phogat has emerged victorious in Julana, showcasing the growing influence of celebrity candidates in politics.

The stakes are high for both the BJP and Congress as they look to define their futures in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir. The outcome of these elections will likely influence upcoming assembly polls in Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Delhi, making today’s results crucial for the political strategies of these national parties.
