Omar Abdullah is set to take oath as the new chief minister of Jammu & Kashmir on October 16. National Conference 's Omar Abdullah on Monday posted on X a letter sent by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha inviting him to take oath on October 16.
"Was pleased to receive the Principal Secretary to LG Manoj Sinha ji. He handed over a letter from the LG office inviting me to form the next government in J&K," Abdullah tweeted.
On Sunday, President's rule in the union territory was revoked nearly after six years, clearing the way for the formation of a new government following the recently concluded assembly elections.
Chief minister-designate Omar Abdullah on Friday had called on Lieutenant Governor and staked claim to form the National Conference-Congress alliance government.
During his meeting with Sinha, Abdullah presented the letters of support from the coalition partners, hours after Congress extended its support to the NC vice president.
Abdullah was unanimously elected as the leader of the NC legislature party, paving the way for his second term as the chief minister of J&K.
His first tenure as the chief minister was also as the head of the NC-Congress coalition government from 2009 to 2014.
The NC won 42 of the 90 seats for which elections were held in three phases with the alliance partner Congress bagging six seats. Although the two parties have a majority in the 95-member House, four Independents and the lone AAP MLA have also extended their support to the NC.
