In December 2018, Bukhari joined the National Conference. Again in 2021, he left the NC and joined People’s Conference, from where he was also expelled in June 2023.
Bukhari had joined the PDP in 2003 and got elected from the Sangrama constituency in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district in 2008 and 2014. He was Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, Relief and Rehabilitation in the previous PDP-BJP Government.
