PTI should have right to contest elections: Ghani

“The torture the PPP had to face was not witnessed by another political party,” Wassan asserted.

KARACHI: In a demonstration of commitment to democratic principles, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) senior leader Saeed Ghani, affirmed on Sunday that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) should retain its right to participate in the upcoming general elections.

Addressing a corner meeting in Karachi, Ghani urged the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to make decisions free from external pressures. He emphasized the need to avoid arbitrary deployment of the election commissioner and returning officer, stating, “We do not want the deployment of the election commissioner and returning officer at will.”

Ghani stressed that the primary purpose of elections should not be personal vendettas, and politics driven by hooliganism should be discouraged. “Even if all the political parties join hands together, we will still bludgeon them. All the political parties are uniting against the PPP,” he added.

This statement aligns with Ghani’s vision of fair and transparent elections, advocating for a level playing field for all political entities. The PPP leader’s call for electoral integrity reinforces the importance of upholding democratic values in the electoral process.

In a related development, senior PPP figure Manzoor Wassan had earlier claimed that efforts were underway to bring former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif back to power, drawing parallels with how the PTI founder ascended. Wassan expressed the PPP’s desire for timely and fair elections, emphasizing the importance of preserving democratic symbols.
