Bilawal Bhutto admires team-work and hard-work of PPP leaders and workers in NA-4 Peshawar by-election

Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has admired the team-work and hard-work of the PPP leaders and workers in NA-4 Peshawar by-election despite pre-poll rigging by Federal and Provincial government machineries.

In a press statement issued here, the PPP Chairman said that both the PML-N and PTI governments opened up their exchequers and coffers for NA-4 and unleashed state machineries to steal away by-election. New development schemes were conceived and implemented overnight to influence the voters in complete violations of electoral rules, he added.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that despite all odds the PPP workers performed well and he would like to salute them for working hard without having a level-playing field. PPP KPK and Peshawar leaders and workers have proved that our Party has mature, committed and loyal cadre, which can fight from dictators to their minions in all seasons, he further added.

PPP Chairman said that he understands that Party workers are faced with vulgar and abusive mainly the newly-born political opponents. “In our 50 years of history, the Party has faced a serial of such political bubbles and pricked them finally. However, they pop up again and again in different colors as remnants of dictatorial regimes,” he said.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that Peshawar by-election cannot be a litmus test for popularity of any political party for a variety of reasons because 86 % of the women of the constituency didn’t cast their votes and heavily-exerted influence from both Federal and Provincial governments through use of resources and machinery.

He said that PPP will win any elections held in a level-playing field and pledged that it will defeat the opponents in 2018.
