Srinagar- The National Conference (NC) on Friday announced its nominees for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections, naming Choudhary Muhammad Ramzan, Shammi Oberoi, and Sajad Kichloo as its candidates.

Addressing a press conference, NC General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar said that while three candidates have been finalized, the party is still in discussions with the Congress over the fourth seat. “We have kept one seat open, and talks are ongoing with the Congress,” he said. NC leaders, however, did not clarify whether one of the three safe seats would be offered to the Congress or if the party would contest a competitive seat where the BJP holds an advantage.

The ruling alliance holds 24 votes for the fourth seat, whereas the BJP commands 28 votes, giving the saffron party an upper hand.
