He said Mehboba also nominated former finance minister Syed Altaf Bukhari as the treasurer of the party, while Rafi Ahmad Mir would continue as the chief spokesman of the party.

The Peoples Democratic Party president has also reconstituted the Political Affairs Committee (PAC) – the highest decision-making body of the party.

The members of the newly-constituted PAC include Muzaffar Hussain Baig, Abdul Rehman Veeri, Mohammad Dillawar Mir, Mehboob Baig, Syed Basharat Bukhari, Nizamudin Bhat, Yashpal Sharma, Chowdhary Zulfkar, Syed Asgar Ali, Falail Singh, Ashraf Mir, Haji Anayat Ali, Rafiq Hussain Khan and Qazi Afzal, the spokesman said.
