At the same time, the three seats on which PDP has won include Kupwara, Tral and Pulwama. At the same time, Tral seat was such, where PDP candidate Rafiq ahmed Naik won by a margin of only 460 votes.
Perhaps apart from this, only Mir Mohammad Fayaz from Kupwara and Wahidur Rehman Para from Pulwama could contribute in saving the party's reputation. Not only this, mehbooba Mufti's daughter Iltija Mufti contested the election for the first time from Bijbehara, mehbooba Mufti's family seat. PDP could not save this seat also and Iltija Mufti was defeated by Bashir ahmed Shah Veeri of National Conference by a margin of 9770 votes. At the same time, even the party's senior leader Mehboob Beg lost the election. In the 2014 assembly elections, mehbooba Mufti's PDP emerged as the largest party. At that time, PDP got a total of 28 seats and the vote percentage was 22.67 percent. This was also seven seats more than the previous election. That is, the party's support base was continuously increasing.
Moreover hiding her disappointment after PDP got three seats, mehbooba mufti said that this is a political journey and there are ups and downs, but PDP has a vision as well as an agenda, which will take the party a long way.
