Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah will contest from the Ganderbal constituency in the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections. For the National Conference, Ganderbal is considered its strong hold as the constituency in the past had elected three generations of Abdullah family — NC founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah in 1977, his son Farooq Abdullah thrice in 1983, 1987 and 1996 and Omar Abdullah was elected in 2008.
In 2014, the seat was won by Sheikh Ishfaq Jabbar on the National Conference ticket from Ganderbal. He had earlier unsuccessfully contested more than two elections on the Congress ticket.
The party has released second list of 32 candidates on Tuesday. NC has forged an alliance with Congress in the union territory.
