The Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a state

Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir following his death in January 2016. The party is a member of the People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration electoral alliance. The party is also a member of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance since its founding on 18 June 2023.[7]

History

The PDP was founded in 1999 by the former

Mufti Mohammed Sayeed.[8][9][10] 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.[11]

Sayeed headed the PDP-Indian National Congress Coalition Government between October 2002 and November 2005, and he was the party's Patron until his death on 7 January 2016.[12] The PDP is now headed by Mehbooba Mufti, Sayeed's daughter.[13]

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 Jammu and Kashmir.[14]

In the 2014 general election, three of its members were elected to the Lok Sabha. Its strength in the Legislative Assembly is 28 and in the Rajya Sabha is two.[15] The party ran a Coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir with the Bharatiya Janata Party[5] until the BJP abandoned the coalition on June 19, 2018, due to concerns about terrorism and radicalization in Kashmir.[16]
