The oath of office was administered by Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, who welcomed Abdullah as he begins his second term as chief minister.

Alongside Abdullah, five ministers also took the oath of office, including Sakina Masood (Itoo), Javed Dar, Javed Rana, Surinder Choudhary, and Satish Sharma. While Itoo and Dar represent the Kashmir Valley, Rana, Choudhary, and Sharma are from the Jammu region, highlighting a balanced representation within the new government.This transition marks a pivotal moment for Jammu and Kashmir, as Abdullah aims to navigate the challenges facing the region while fostering collaboration with the central government for its development.
