After the Election Commission of India declared the assembly election results, four independent MLAs joined the National Conference alliance on Thursday. NC chief and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was unanimously elected as the head of the National Conference’s legislative party.
Meanwhile, a final decision on the Chief Minister’s position will be made after a meeting with alliance partners.
The National Conference has won 42 seats in the 90-member assembly having majority mark of 46. NC’s ally Congress bagged six seats. However, with the support of 4 independent MLAs, the NC has got a majority on its own and is not bound to rely on Congress. The independent MLAs support to the NC has also reduced the Congress party’s bargaining power in the alliance.
