#PPPwinsPK93: Asif Ali Zardari says the Dir win has many lessons

Former President and Co-Chairman PPP Asif Ali Zardari has felicitated the tripartite political alliance of PPP, ANP and JUI and other political parties that supported the PPP candidate Sahibzada Sanaullah in the bye election to PK 93 in Upper Dir Tuesday resulting in his resounding win.
I also wish to felicitate the women of the constituency, our daughters and sisters, who came out of their homes in large numbers to exercise their right to vote defying obscurantist and regressive elements who for decades had been denying them right to vote behind of the façade of customs and traditions and at times even religion, he said in a statement today.
Felicitating the winner Sahibzada Sanaullah of the PPP who won by a margin of several thousand votes defeating the JI-PTI joint candidate in a straight electoral fight the former President said that the credit for Tuesday electoral win belonged to many and they all deserved to be congratulated on the occasion..
Spokesperson Senator Farhatullah Babar quoting the former President outlined several important lessons of the election results.
First, it vindicated the tripartite political alliance between PPP, ANP and JUI as a political strategy in the province.
Second, the support of PML-N and other parties also to the PPP candidate demonstrated the hollowness of the claims of self styled puritans leading the government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa claiming massive public endorsement of their policies.
Third, it showed that the women of Dir have finally un-chained themselves from the shackles of obscurantist elements setting in motion an irreversible process of emancipation.
Fourth, the Tuesday win in Upper Dir by the PPP is a befitting reply to those whose pastime has been to predict gloom and doom for the PPP.
Asif Ali Zardari also felicitated the provincial party president Senator Khanzada Khan, ex MPAs from Dir Zamin Khan and Anwar Khan, Bacha Saleh and divisional and district party office bearers and workers of all political parties that supported the PPP for their efforts in mobilizing the people in Upper Dir to vote for the PPP candidate.
Drawing appropriate lessons from it and building on this victory the Party should devise a strategy to enhance political space in the province the former President asked the party leadership in the province.
