The Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party (JKPDP) is a state political party in Jammu and Kashmir, India.[7] The PDP was headed and founded by Mufti Mohammed Sayeed. His daughter, Mehbooba Mufti, succeeded him as party leader and as chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir following his death in January 2016. The party was a member of the People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration electoral alliance. The party was also a member of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance from its founding on 18 June 2023 till 2024.[8]
Currently Mehbooba Mufti[9] remains as the president of the party, with Waheed Para serving as the legislative party leader in the J&K Assembly, Fayaz Ahmad Mir as whip [10] and Mirza Mehboob Beg as the Chief Spokesperson for the party.
History[edit | edit source]
The PDP was founded in 1999 by the former Union Home Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed.[11][12][13] It captured power in Jammu and Kashmir in October 2002 Assembly elections. In 2004, it had one member each in the Lok Sabha and in the Rajya Sabha. It was a member of the ruling United Progressive Alliance until the 2009 general election.[14]
Sayeed headed the PDP-Indian National Congress coalition government between October 2002 and November 2005, and the PDP- BJP government between March 2015 and January 2016 and he was the party's patron until his death on 7 January 2016.[15] The PDP is now headed by Mehbooba Mufti, Sayeed's daughter.[16]
The PDP operates on the ideology of self-rule, as distinctly different from the issues of autonomy. It believes that self-rule as a political philosophy, as opposed to autonomy, ensures the empowerment of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, while further engaging in debates over new political territoriality of the Jammu and Kashmir.[17]
In 2019 Indian general election and 2024 Indian general election, it failed to win any Lok Sabha seat.
In the 2014 general election, three of its members were elected to the Lok Sabha, and its strength in the Legislative Assembly was 28.[18] The party ran a coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir with the Bharatiya Janata Party[6] until the BJP abandoned the coalition on June 19, 2018, due to concerns about terrorism and radicalization in Kashmir.[19]
The party won just 3 seats in the 2024 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election. It was also its worst election performance in Jammu and Kashmir since its formation.
