LAHORE: Former president and Pakistan People’s Party chairperson Asif Ali Zardari on Sunday said that the PPP is ready for the next elections.

Announcing that the PPP will start campaigning for the next elections from Punjab, Zardari said the party is ready for a contest.

“Last time we were handcuffed, but this time the shackles are off, and now I myself am in the field,” said Zardari.

Zardari said that PPP has never faced defeat in Punjab, except for ‘RO elections’ which are still taking place. However, he said the PPP would show what it takes to win an election.

The former president said that he would hold dialogue for reforms to ensure that the next elections are held in free, fair and transparent manner.

He thanked party workers for their support and sacrifices, and vowed that PPP will find its lost glory in Punjab.
