Jammu and Kashmir Chief minister Mehbooba Mufti was re-elected as the president of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday for a record sixth consecutive time.
The PDP’s electoral college met in Jammu where Mehbooba was ‘unanimously’ elected as head of the party for the next three years.
A party leader said she was elected unopposed.
Soon after her re-election, Mehbooba took to Twitter to say she would work for “development, inclusiveness and reconciliation in J&K”.
Mehbooba was sworn-in as the first woman chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir on April 4, 2016, three months after the death of her father and PDP founder and patron Mufti Mohammed Sayeed.
