Jammu & Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party
Founded in July 1999 by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, a former Union Home Minister, after he split from the Indian National Congress, on a platform of "self-rule" for Jammu & Kashmir within the Indian Union. Came to power in the 2002 J&K Assembly election in coalition with Congress, and again in 2014 in an unprecedented alliance with the BJP. After Sayeed's death in January 2016, his daughter Mehbooba Mufti became Chief Minister until the coalition collapsed in 2018. The party finished third in vote share in the 2024 Lok Sabha election in J&K and won no seats.
