Bilawal Rejects Alliance, Favors Coalition with Independent Candidates for 2024 Elections

Bilawal Bhutto acknowledged the major concern of the common man – the rising issues of poverty and inflation.

In a recent interview with the British news agency Reuters, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), emphasized his commitment to forging a government in collaboration with independent candidates in the upcoming 2024 elections. Bhutto dismissed any possibility of forming an alliance with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), stating that his preference lies with independent candidates.

Highlighting the significance of youth participation in decision-making, Bhutto encouraged young voters to make informed choices in the elections, asserting that record numbers of independent candidates are actively participating. Despite facing economic challenges, Bhutto outlined his comprehensive plan to provide free electricity and promote social welfare programs.

Referring to the party’s electoral manifesto, Bhutto proposed a forward-looking development model, prioritizing Pakistan’s progress by addressing climate change risks and focusing on central and inclusive policies.

When questioned about the possibility of a young prime minister, Bhutto acknowledged not keeping count but humorously remarked, “I haven’t counted, but… I believe he (Imran Khan) was the youngest.” However, Bhutto firmly ruled out forming an alliance with any specific candidate, expressing his preference for coalition-building with independent hopefuls.

Bhutto acknowledged the increasing number of independent politicians participating in the upcoming elections, signaling a potential shift in Pakistan’s political landscape. Responding to queries about Nawaz Sharif’s party, Bhutto commented that they are relying solely on the people of Pakistan to secure their fourth term as Prime Minister.

Drawing parallels between the PML-N and PTI, Bhutto observed that both parties, despite changing faces, have maintained consistent policies. He pledged to uphold transparency in the 2024 elections and expressed optimism about his party’s chances, contrary to popular expectations.
