The last assembly elections in J&K was in 2014 for 87 members in the house. This was the last assembly election before the territory's special status was revoked and Ladakh separated as union territory in 2019.
The Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP bagged the highest number of seats at 28, followed by the BJP's 25. The former was dominant in the Kashmir Valley while the latter swept the Hindu-majority Jammu region.
The Abdullah family's Jammu & Kashmir National Conference won 15 seats, and the Congress 12.
The PDP and BJP formed a coalition government.
In the last 10 years, the BJP dominated Haryana electorally, after sweeping the 2014 Lok Sabha and assembly elections. It won seven out of 10 seats in the Lok Sabha, while two was secured by ally Haryana Janhit Congress (BL). In the assembly elections, BJP won 47 out of 90 seats.
The BJP appointed Manohar Lal Khattar, a Punjabi, as chief minister.
In 2019, the BJP won all 10 Haryana Lok Sabha seats, but in assembly polls later that year, its tally fell from 47 to 40 seats in the assembly.
The party then cobbled up an alliance with Dushyant Chautala-led Jannanayak Janata Party which had 10 seats. Khattar remained CM while Chautala was appointed his deputy along with a slew of key portfolios.
The assembly elections in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir is the first in a series of state polls after the Lok Sabha elections earlier this year. The results are expected to have an impact on national political equations.
Haryana has been under a BJP government since 2014, when it took power for the first time. Since then, the electoral performance has seen a gradual dip. Failure to win this time will create a political headache for the national leadership, after the BJP failed to secure a majority in the general election.
Jammu and Kashmir will also be significant since its the first state elections since 2014 and after the abrogation of Article 370.
Exit polls released on Saturday predict intriguing possibilities for the 2024 Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, with many pointing toward a hung assembly. Despite a predicted edge for the Congress and its alliance with the National Conference, the region's political landscape remains uncertain after the decade-long gap since the last assembly elections.
NDTV’s Poll of Polls forecasts 42 seats for the Congress-NC alliance, 27 for the BJP, 7 for the PDP, and 14 for other parties.
Axis My India Alliance forecasts 35-45 seats for the Congress-NC alliance, 24-34 for the BJP, 4-6 for the PDP, and 8-23 for other parties.
