KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has reiterated his demand to hold general elections in the country within the constitutionally mandated period of 90 days.
Bilawal repeated his party’s firm stance on polls days after reports emerged in a section of mainstream media claiming that the PPP would “adjust” its position on elections in 90 days.
On March 5, the PPP chairman’s statement was shared on its official handle X: “Chairman [of the] Pakistan Peoples Party @BBhuttoZardari has urged that the general elections should be held according to the Constitution, so that the democratic government can solve the problems of the people.”
Referring to the tweet, a local publication claimed that it was the first time in recent weeks that the PPP called for adhering to the Constitution, without referring to the 90-day deadline.
During an interaction with journalists in Karachi today, Bilawal said: “The PPP demands that the elections be held within 90 days.”
The PPP — which had been the most vocal among all parties in calling for elections within three months — demands that elections should be held at the earliest and as per the Constitution, he added.
Bilawal says that the PPP does people-friendly politics and governance. “Our contest is with inflation, unemployment and poverty.”
