Nazir Khan, speaking to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said he retained the Gurez seat for the fourth time. He congratulated his workers for their efforts. “I worked hard in the Gurez sector for the betterment of the valley, even during tough times, which is why people have trust in me and chose me again,” he said.

The Gurez Assembly constituency has 22,291 registered voters, consisting of 11,723 males and 10,568 females. A total of 31 rural polling stations were established in the constituency. In Gurez, 17,386 votes were cast.

In the 2008 Assembly Elections, Nazir Ahmad Khan won again, receiving 5,817 votes with a vote share of 51.06%.

In the 2014 Assembly Elections, he won the seat by a margin of 141 votes, receiving 6,664 votes (48.29%) compared to Faqir Mohammad Khan, who received 6,523 votes (47.26%)—(KNO)
