These elections, held after almost 10 years, have again created a stir in the politics of the state. As soon as the election results come, an important phase of the democratic process will be completed in this state.Counting of votes beginsIn the counting process, postal ballots will be counted first, followed by counting of votes cast from EVMs. Trends will start coming in the first few hours, and by noon it will be clear which party is close to coming to power.

Best wishes from Omar AbdullahBefore the counting of votes, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah wished all his colleagues and allies. He wrote on social media, "I wish all my colleagues and associates a very happy day. We fought a good fight and now Insha Allah, the results will be in accordance with that." These sentiments of Omar Abdullah are giving positive indications about his confidence and the performance of the party.Omar Abdullah's election betIn this election, Omar Abdullah has contested from two assembly constituencies—Ganderbal and Budgam. His strategy has been to keep the party's hold strong in Budgam, where the Shia population dominates. However, his path on this seat is not easy. There are also reports of resentment among the local people on the issue of development in Budgam, which can be a matter of concern for Omar Abdullah.On this seat, Muntazir, who has a good hold in the Shia areas of Budgam, can challenge Omar Abdullah. The contest in Budgam is considered interesting and tough. If Omar Abdullah wins here, it will be an important success for his political career and the National Conference.A symbol of restoration of democracyThe elections being held in Jammu and Kashmir after such a long time are being considered a big step towards the restoration of democracy. These elections are very important not only for political parties but also for the public, because these results will decide the direction and condition of the state. The expectations of the public regarding stability and development in Jammu and Kashmir are very high, and in such a situation the election results are in the eyes of the whole country.ConclusionThe election results of Jammu and Kashmir are being awaited not only in the state but in the whole country. This election is historic in many ways, because it can bring a new turn in the politics of the state. Omar Abdullah and leaders of other political parties are ready to decide their future on this occasion. Now it has to be seen how big a role the results of these elections play in the political scenario of Jammu and Kashmir.Here’s wishing all my colleagues and allies the very best of luck for today. We fought the good fight & now, InshaAllah, the results will reflect that.
