Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari called on voters in Gilgit-Baltistan to deliver a "heavy" mandate to his party in the upcoming elections. Speaking at a rally in Ghizer, he emphasized that a strong majority is crucial for safeguarding the region's rights.
Bhutto-Zardari framed the election as an opportunity to secure the region's future, stating, "I want a heavy majority in GB, not for me, but for you." He linked this goal to completing the "incomplete" missions of the PPP's founding leaders, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto, in Gilgit-Baltistan.
The rally in Ghizer is part of a broader campaign effort by the PPP and other political parties as they intensify efforts to garner support ahead of the polls. Bhutto-Zardari also touched upon the experience of other political parties, noting that while some contenders had previously served as prime minister, he had not yet had that opportunity.
