Whereas in Gulmarag constituency The 'controversial' Ghulam Hassan Mir, enjoying ministerial berths from last 30 years has lost Gulmarag to PDP's Muhammad Abbas Wani by 2937 votes.
Mir was the only known face of his Democratic Party (Nationalist) seeking another term from Gulmarg. A three-time MLA Gulmarg, Mir is known to stay close to power canters.
