After the Union Territory's assembly elections on October 8, the former Chief Minister praised the National Conference-Congress alliance for receiving the "people's mandate."

"I am happy with the way people have voted. 'Gadbad karna ka koi chance nahi hai ab' (there is no chance to mess around now). It seemed like if the mandate wasn't clear, dirty tricks could have been used to defeat the people's will," she said at the JKPDP headquarters in Srinagar.

"I congratulate the National Conference-Congress leadership; they have won spectacularly. I also want to congratulate the people of Jammu and Kashmir for voting for a stable government. The situation in Jammu and Kashmir had been dire since August 5, 2019, and people faced numerous problems. Forming a stable government was essential," she further added.

In the recent Jammu and Kashmir Assembly election, the National Conference won 42 seats, followed by the Bharatiya Janata Party with 29 seats, the Congress with 6 seats and the PDP with 3 seats.
