Zardari claims Pakistan Peoples Party to form next government
The former president says he will engage party leaders in Punjab and work with them for the next polls
Former president and PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari claimed on Saturday his party would form the next government, vowing to turn the country by “110 degrees”.
“We will take the entire share [in the government] next time. If I get the chance to serve, I will turn the country by 110 degrees," he said during a meeting with party leaders at Bilawal House.
The ex-president said he will engage party leaders in Punjab and work with them for the next polls.
He added that claims of PPP’s politics coming to an end in Gilgit-Baltistan and Punjab are “white lies”.
PPP “weakened” its political presence in a bid to “save” the country, Zardari said. “They don’t listen to us and only do when they need us,” he said, without naming anyone.
The PPP is currently ruling the Sindh province, where it has been forming the government since the last three general elections, while it is also a major stakeholder in the incumbent federal government.
Lambasting the former prime minister Imran Khan, the ex-president said the surge in inflation is due to the “favourite” person’s policies that he adopted in his 3.5-year tenure.
