Iltija Mufti, daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, has conceded an early defeat in the Srigufwara-Bijbehara constituency during the latest elections. In her statement, she expressed acceptance of the people’s decision, stating, “I accept the people’s verdict.”
A Humbling Experience for Mufti
Iltija, who entered the political arena with much anticipation, admitted that the outcome was a humbling experience. She added that she had hoped for a different result but respects the voters’ choice. This marks her first significant political challenge as a representative of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
A Pivotal Constituency in South Kashmir
The Srigufwara-Bijbehara constituency, a critical region in South Kashmir, has historically been a stronghold of the PDP. However, the early trends show that Mufti is trailing behind her rivals, leading to her early concession. The election here has drawn significant attention due to the political history of the Mufti family.
Impact on the PDP’s Political Landscape
This early defeat could have implications for the People’s Democratic Party, which has been struggling to regain its influence in the region. Iltija’s candidacy was seen as part of the PDP’s efforts to rebuild its base, but the results so far suggest a challenging road ahead for the party.
Respect for Democracy
Concluding her statement, Iltija Mufti emphasized her faith in democracy and the electoral process. She assured her supporters that she will continue to work for the betterment of her constituency and the people of Jammu and Kashmir, regardless of the election outcome.
