Srinagar, October 9: After J-K National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah announced that party Vice President Omar Abdullah would be the next Chief Minister, the newly-elected MLA Omar said on Wednesday that the decision ultimately lies with legislators and the alliance.

Omar  Abdullah said he is grateful for the confidence that his father (Farooq Abdullah) has reposed in him. But that decision is of the legislators to make. It is a decision of the alliance to make. The legislators will make a final decision on selecting the leader of the party and this procedure will be followed..

Omar Abdullah further expressed his gratitude and humility towards the people of Jammu and Kashmir for the mandate they've given his party.

He said that the incoming government will represent every individual of J-K, regardless of their voting choices.

"First and foremost, wait for the Legislative Party Meeting which will take place tomorrow. After the meeting, there will be the alliance meeting, it will determine the leader of the alliance. The leader of the alliance will then, I assume, take letters of support, go to Raj Bhavan, stake the claim, and request the LG to fix a date for the swearing-in. But I would like that to happen as soon as possible because we have been without an elected government since 2018. Time has come that we get back to work," Omar added.

The NC leader reaffirmed his party's commitment to restoring statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, emphasizing that their political stance remains unchanged. He acknowledged that regaining Article 370 from those who abolished it would be unrealistic, labeling it as "foolishness" and deception of the people
