Earlier this week, the Peoples Democratic Party had announced it will boycott the municipal and panchayat elections, days after the National Conference announced its decision to stay away from the polls. 

Former Jammu & Kashmir chief minister and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti had said they will not contest the polls as the prevailing situation was not favourable.
