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

Background

[edit]

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, 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]

On 18 October 2024, an order was issued by Lieutenant Governor Sinha to allocate portfolios to council of ministers on the advice of chief minister.[9]
