Omar Abdullah takes oath as the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, marking the Union Territory's first government in six years. Abdullah, a leader of the National Conference, takes office alongside Surinder Singh Choudhary, who has been appointed Deputy Chief Minister. Choudhary, an MLA who won against J&K BJP chief Ravinder Raina in the Assembly elections, brings representation from the Jammu division to the new government. This development follows a significant political shift in the region and signifies the formation of a government after an extended period of direct rule by the central government.
