Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Elections 2024 constituency-wise results LIVE | State BJP chief confident of forming govt ahead of counting

Hello readers! Counting day is upon us for the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections. The Union Territory, which is holding its first election after being declared as such, and the first assembly election in the region in 10 years, saw a turnout of 63.45%. The main contenders for the Chief Minister's throne are the BJP and the alliance of NC-Congress, while parties like PDP and Awami Ittehad Party could play the vital role of kingmakers. Exit polls suggest a hung assembly, with no outright party dominating. As such, NC chief Farooq Abdullah has already started playing coalition politics, attempting to woe PDP and its chief Mehbooba Mufti. Stay tuned with DH for the latest updates on the results of each constituency!
