"Without any preconditions from either side, Mehboobaji will take oath as the chief minister anytime after the seven-day official mourning ends tomorrow," Peoples Democratic Party spokesman Mehboob Beg told reporters here.

"The terms of alliance already worked out will continue to govern the relationship between the two parties in the next government," he asserted.

Beg said the PDP president will respect the people's mandate and carry forward the agenda of development set by the late chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.

The state announced a seven-day official mourning when Sayeed passed away at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi on January 7.
