The National Conference (NC) emerged as the single largest party in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday (October 8, 2024) and won 42 seats in the 90-member Assembly of the union territory, while the Bharatiya Janata Party retained its stronghold Jammu by winning 29 seats.
However, the NC ally Congress’ performance was dismal and it only won six seats, five from the Kashmir valley and only one from the Jammu province. It had fielded candidates from 32 seats as part of a seat-sharing arrangement with the NC.
The J&K post-poll survey of 2024 was conducted by the Lokniti programme of CSDS between September 19 and October 6. A total of 2,614 respondents were interviewed across 25 Assembly Constituencies and 99 polling stations of J&K.
