Bilawal files nomination papers for NA-194 for 2024 elections

Larkana: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari filed nomination papers for NA-194—a stronghold of the party—for upcoming general elections.

Bilawal Bhutto submitted the papers just before the extended deadline's expiry at 4:30 pm, set by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

In remarks to the media after filing the papers, Bilawal emphasized that the PPP's battle is not against any political party but against pressing issues like inflation, poverty, and unemployment.

“میں انتخابات میں حصہ اس لیے لے رہا ہوں کیونکہ اس وقت پاکستان کے عوام مشکل میں ہیں، تاریخی معاشی بحران کا سامنا ہے، قائد عوام نے ہمیں جو نظریہ اور منشور دیا روٹی، کپڑا اور مکان کا شاید ماضی میں اس کی ضرورت اتنی نہیں تھی جتنی آج ہے۔”

He expressed the party's commitment to securing the rights of laborers and farmers, advocating for free healthcare facilities for citizens. Bilawal urged the public to support the PPP in the upcoming elections.

Bilawal Bhutto also talked about the cipher case, saying that the proper investigation must be held to determine the actual matter behind it.

He was determined to contest elections from NA-194, saying that it was the constituency of her mother Benazir Bhutto.  He said they learnt a lot from the past mistakes.

“پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی اس وقت ملک کی واحد جماعت ہے جو عوام کی طرف دیکھ رہی ہے، اور ہمیں عوام پر بھروسہ ہے کیونکہ قائد عوام نے ہمیں یہ سوچ دی کہ طاقت کا سرچشمہ عوام ہے۔”

Bilawal said that they did not enter into seat adjustment with any political party and were contesting elections on the basis of their own voters and supporters.

Mian Nawaz Sharif, he said, used say that why was he ousted from the office but now he would be found saying “why he was called in?,”.
