From a key player, PDP pushed to margins in 2024 Assembly polls

The fall in fortunes marks a notable decline for PDP, which had emerged as the single largest party in the 2014 polls, with 28 seats, and formed a coalition government with the BJP. In the 2024 Assembly polls, PDP could only secure three seats -- Kupwara in North Kashmir and Tral and Pulwama seats in South Kashmir. The party drew blank in its strongholds in Shopian, Anantnag and Kulgam district in South Kashmir. Even the PDP chief and former CM Mehbooba Mufti's daughter Iltija Mufti lost from the party's erstwhile stronghold Srigufwara-Bijbehara constituency.
