In preparation for the upcoming panchayat and local body elections, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has formed a high-powered committee to strengthen its political base in Jammu and Kashmir, India. This committee, led by former Member of Parliament Mehboob Beg, includes notable figures such as former minister Abdul Haq Khan and Pulwama MLA Waheed-ur-Rehman Para. The PDP is actively engaging with former leaders who had left the party but have not aligned with other organizations, indicating a potential influx of significant names back into the fold. Following a disappointing performance in the 2024 assembly elections, where the PDP secured only three seats, recent successes like the Budgam bypoll have revitalized the party's hopes. Leaders are optimistic about competing against the National Conference (NC), criticizing its unmet promises to the electorate. The PDP has also been organizing outreach programs, such as “Kath Baath,” to foster connections with various community segments, particularly targeting younger demographics. This strategy aims to reinforce the party's standing as a major political force in the region.
