Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah is set to contest elections from the Baramulla Lok Sabha constituency, as announced by the National Conference in Friday.
This move comes as NC president Farooq Abdullah confirmed Omar Abdullah as the party’s candidate for the north Kashmir seat. Additionally, the party revealed that Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, a prominent Shia leader, will be contesting from Srinagar, a constituency historically held by the NC.
With these strategic candidate selections, the NC aims to strengthen its presence in key regions of Jammu and Kashmir ahead of the upcoming elections.
