Jammu and Kashmir Elections 2024: In a major political development, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday withdrew its support for former Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) leader Taj Mohiuddin after the Apni Party backed his candidacy as an independent candidate from the Uri constituency.  

Mohiuddin on August 17 announced his resignation from the Ghulam Nabi Azad-led DPAP and announced to contest the election as an Independent candidate from north Kashmir’s Uri assembly constituency.

Apni Party backs Taj Mohuddin's candidature

On Monday, the Apni Party announced its support for the former Jammu and Kashmir minister. Apni Party president Altaf Bukhari made the announcement during a press conference in Srinagar. "The Apni Party has decided to back Mohiuddin. We will lend our full support to him," Bukhari said.

He said the decision was taken keeping in mind the interests of the people of the Uri assembly segment. "There is no personal interest. Neither does Mohiuddin have any personal interest, nor do I," he added.

Bukhari said Mohiuddin is a tall leader and expressed hope that he would be elected to the assembly.
