    J&K: JKPC's Sajad Lone leading in Handwara, trailing from Kupwara

    What's the story

    Jammu and Kashmir People's Conference (JKPC) chief Sajjad Lone is leading from the Handwara constituency with 5,298 votes, followed by Chowdry Mohammad Ramzan of the National Conference (NC).

    Lone is, however, trailing from the Kupwara seat.

    Jammu & Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)'s Mir Mohammad Fayaz is leading in this seat by 8,985 votes.

    Fayaz is followed by Nasir Aslam Wani of NC and Lone.

    Election outcome

    Lone's stance on potential hung house scenario

    While vote counting was underway, Lone said it was too early to comment on the elections results, saying, "Let's wait till evening."

    When asked if a hung house is possible in J&K, Lone said his party will meet to decide what to do next.

    "Whatever the outcome is, the party will sit and decide," he told reporters.

    He also said any decision to join hands with another party would be an informed call, adding it's not necessary to support anybody.

    Candidate profile

    Lone's background and previous election performance

    Lone, a former member of the banned Jamaat-e-Islami and current chief of JKPC, declared assets worth over ₹11 crore in his election affidavit.

    The 57-year-old leader holds a BSc (Economics) Hons degree from Cardiff University in the United Kingdom.

    He has no pending criminal cases against him and hasn't been convicted for any crime.

    In the 2024 Lok Sabha election, Lone contested from the Baramullah constituency in northern Kashmir but lost to Sheikh Abdul Rashid by over 3,00,000 votes.
