•    The date for the swearing in has not been decided yet.
•    Ms Mufti will be the first woman Chief Minister of the state.
•    It was Ms Mufti's meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday that broke the deadlock that had persisted for well over two months.
•    PDP legislature party had elected her its leader and named her the party chief ministerial candidate. 
•    BJP legislators in Jammu elected Nirmal Singh as its leader. He will again be the Deputy Chief Minister in the new cabinet, a post he had under Mufti Mohammed Sayeed who died in January.
•    The state has been under Governor's Rule since early January after the death of former chief minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed.
