A day earlier, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the party will contest general elections 2024 from every constituency.

“We do not believe in the politics of hatred and division, and will take our manifesto to the people, and contest the elections based on that, as done by our ancestors, Quaid-e-Awam Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto,” he reiterated.

The former foreign minister stated that PPP’s 10-point agenda and the economic plan it contains will be conveyed to the people saying that “we have to make the people of Raiwand understand that if they wish to form a government of the people, labourers, farmers and students, then PPP is the sole option, not the PML-N or PTI.”
