Pakistan: Zardari confident PPP will form next Govt

Islamabad, June 19: Pakistan People’s Party(PPP) leader and former president Asif Ali Zardari claimed that his party will form the next government in the Centre after winning the 2023 general elections, Dawn reported on Sunday.
The next government (in the Centre) will be the PPP’s. I promise if I get a chance to return to power I will turn around Pakistan 110 degrees. The PPP has the capability to help the country negotiate all the challenges, the former president said during an interaction with the party’s office-bearers and workers at Bilawal House in Bahria Town.
Zardari dismissed the impression that the PPP had been wiped out from Punjab province as well as Gilgit-Baltistan. This is not true. The PPP has to sacrifice its politics to ‘save Pakistan’. I will myself look into the party affairs in Punjab and ensure its revival here, he declared.
Zardari claimed the PPP, which is a part of the nine-party coalition Government led by the PML-N in Punjab and Centre, would help steer the country out of the economic and political crises.
However he, did not mention whether he would be contesting the next general elections with the PML-N unlike the agreement for the by-polls in Punjab next month.
Amid the slogans of Aik Zardari sab pe bhari, the PPP senior leader further said he would accord respect to the party workers and consult them in any future decisions. (UNI)
