SRINAGAR: National Conference Vice President and former Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, unveiled the party’s approach towards candidate selection for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, stating the NC will announce candidates as per its mood.
Addressing reporters, Omar reiterated that the National Conference would announce its candidates as per its own will. He emphasised that the party retains the prerogative to unveil candidates’ names, potentially even on the final day of filing nominations.
Omar, when asked whether he will contest the coming Lok Sabha elections, further underscored that the decision to contest elections is not solely his prerogative but would be determined by the party’s directives.
Stressing adherence to party protocols, he said that the National Conference leadership would deliberate and finalise candidates based on the prevailing political climate. “Apart from Sajad Lone, no one has announced candidature.
