In the exit polls that came out after the polling ended on Saturday, the there was near unanimity that the Congress was going to win with a comfortable majority.

In the first assembly elections after the abrogation of Article 370, people of J&K has backed National Conference, which has won 41 seats and is leading in one. Its ally Congress has won six seats, giving them enough numbers in the 90-member assembly to form the government. BJP has won 29 seats, while PDP could manage only three.
