SaralnamaThe National Conference (NC) named three candidates for Rajya Sabha seats from Jammu and Kashmir. They are Chowdhary Mohammad Ramzan, Shammi Oberoi, and Sajad Kitchloo. NC chief Farooq Abdullah will not seek renomination. The party is in talks with Congress for the fourth seat. NC has 41 MLAs in the 90-member J&K Assembly. They need 53 votes to win two seats easily. A contest is likely between NC and BJP for the other two seats. The votes of non-BJP Opposition parties will be crucial. To vote in Rajya Sabha elections, MLAs must be present in the Assembly.
