The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is gearing up for the upcoming presidential election. They’ve established a four-person committee dedicated to reaching out to other political parties to secure support for their candidate, Asif Ali Zardari.

This committee includes PPP heavyweights: Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, Raja Parvez Sharaf, Syed Khursheed Shah, and Syed Naveed Qamar. Their mission is to build alliances and gain the necessary votes for Zardari’s victory.

This move comes after a recent agreement between the PPP and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). In a joint announcement, the two parties declared Asif Ali Zardari as their official presidential candidate.

In a press conference, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari expressed confidence in forming a coalition government with the PML-N. He also confirmed that Shehbaz Sharif, president of the PML-N, will take on the role of prime minister.

Bilawal emphasized the parties’ commitment to tackling Pakistan’s challenges and expressed hope for a brighter future shaped by their joint leadership.
