A govt should be formed with national unity to bring political stability: Bilawal Bhutto
ISLAMABAD, Feb 10 (SABAH): As the compilation of 2024 election outcomes still underway for more than 48 hours and each party’s position is continuously changing every minute, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Saturday stressed that no government could be formed in Centre, Punjab and Balochistan without inclusion of his party.
“A government should be formed with national unity to bring political stability,” Bilawal said while speaking to a private TV channel, adding: “I want to end the politics of hate and division.”
After the recent polls, the politico said that the PPP is the only party with representation in all four provinces. “Complete results have not been released yet […] However, without the PPP, no government can be formed in Centre, Punjab and Balochistan.”
He thanked the nationals for casting their vote in large numbers. The former foreign minister also congratulated PPP supporters and voters for exhibiting confidence in the party’s leadership and candidates on the poll day.
“I cannot indulge in the old style of politics […] We want to bring political stability in our country.”
The PPP chief said that the decision for the next government will be taken by the party’s central executive committee (CEC) after the announcement of the final election results.
“It is in the country’s interest to build political unity as it would be difficult to resolve public issues without addressing the core national issue of political instability.”
“I am not in a position to make any announcement. The nation is also looking towards the decision of the independent candidates,” said the politico as the independent candidates backed by the former ruling party were dominating the election results so far.
Commenting on the credibility of the nationwide electoral event, Bilawal Bhutto said that he was not disappointed with the recent elections.
He, however, criticised that they were winning in Lahore with a big margin on February 8 at midnight but the situation was entirely changed in the morning.
To another question, the PPP chairman urged parties for joint efforts to form the next set-up in Balochistan province.
