NC loses Budgam in first electoral test since last year’s Assembly polls

Srinagar, Nov 14 (UNI) In a major setback for the ruling National Conference, the Peoples Democratic Party today clinched the Budgam bypoll — only the second time since 1957 that the NC has lost this key constituency.
PDP candidate Aga Muntazir won the Budgam bypoll by a margin of 4,478 votes, delivering a significant blow to the National Conference in one of its traditional strongholds.
The by-election was necessitated after Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who had won both Budgam and Ganderbal seats in last year’s Assembly elections, vacated Budgam to retain Ganderbal.
