PPP to give surprise in general polls on February 8

The Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto have claimed that on February 8, they will give a surprise, Bol News reported on Saturday.

Addressing the media in Multan, the PPP chairman said that one wants to avoid prison and the other  to get out of detention. We have different ideologies from all other parties, participating in elections to solve the issues of the public, while other political parties take part in polls to relieve elites and hurt the masses.

On this occasion, the former foreign minister further added that either we got level playing field or not, we made our arrangements, and the attempt was to make a PPP candidate for the premiership.

Moreover, he said that the PTI founder tries to gain power by rigging; if the PTI founder had supported us, the election reforms would have been better. Now the People’s Party is not going to be afraid and bow down; we are ready to fight.

 Earlier, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has unveiled its list of candidates for the National Assembly and Punjab Assembly seats in Lahore District for the upcoming general elections on Feb 8.

As per the list shared on X (formerly Twitter), the PML-N has nominated seasoned politician Sheikh Rohail Asghar for the NA-121 constituency in Lahore. In the same constituency, Ayaz Sadiq, who had also expressed interest in contesting, will now run for election from NA-120 on the party’s ticket.

A significant electoral contest is anticipated in Lahore, as the PML-N has chosen former minister Attaullah Tarar to face off against Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal-Bhutto Zardari in NA-127.
