Srinagar: National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah<\/a> will contest the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections from the Ganderbal segment, the party said on Tuesday, in what marks a U-turn for the former chief minister who had vowed to not fight for a seat in the legislature of a union territory.<\/p>\n

The party released a list of 32 candidates which included Omar Abdullah for the Ganderbal assembly seat, a constituency that he represented from 2009 to 2014 when he was the chief minister of the NC-Congress coalition government.<\/p>\n

Omar Abdullah had dropped hints on Monday that he is likely to reconsider his decision of not contesting the polls.<\/p>\n

Speaking to media after the NC and Congress announced their seat-sharing arrangement on Monday, Omar Abdullah said he does not want to send out a \u201cwrong signal\u201d by asking his party colleagues to contest and the people to cast their votes for an assembly \u201cthat I may be suggesting that I look down upon\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am conscious of one thing which I had not thought over fully, which is my mistake. If I was not ready to contest an election for an assembly, how can I get the people ready to vote for that assembly?<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can I hope that my colleagues will seek votes for an assembly which I am not ready to accept or may be suggesting that I look down upon? It has put a pressure on me and I do not want to give a wrong signal to the people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
