Ghulam Nabi Azad, a former J&K Chief Minister and the Democratic Progressive Alliance Party (DPAP) chairman, will contest from the Anantnag-Rajouri constituency in Kashmir.
“The party has decided to field Ghulam Nabi Azad as its Lok Sabha candidate from the Anantnag-Rajouri seat,” DPAP leader Taj Mohiuddin said.
The announcement came a day after the National Conference (NC) decided to field Mian Altaf, who holds a sway among the Gujjar population, from the seat.
