In the 2023 Lok Sabha election campaign, Omar Abdullah of JKNC took centre stage, marginalizing the party's older and younger generations. His father, Dr Farooq Abdullah, declined to contest due to health issues, signalling a possible informal retirement. Despite not running, Farooq actively participated in rallies, maintaining his public presence. Farooq's health has been fragile since a 2014 kidney transplant. Although Omar insisted his father's political career isn't over, Farooq's active role has diminished. JKNC's internal dynamics and generational shifts reflect broader political changes, with the party grappling with its identity and strategic decisions post-Article 370 abrogation.
