ISLAMABAD: Secretary General of the Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) Syed Nayyer Hussain Bukhari on Friday directed the candidates seeking PPP tickets to contest the national and provincial assemblies to submit applications for party tickets till December 4.
“The candidates who have submitted applications for party tickets earlier are advised to send their applications without bank drafts,” he said.
Nayyer Bukhari said that PPPP issued these instructions to the candidates who want to contest upcoming general elections on PPP tickets to write their constituency number in accordance with the new constituencies announced by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
The PPP general secretary said that the new applicants are directed to attach a bank draft of Rs40,000 for the National Assembly and Rs30,000 for the provincial assembly seats, respectively, the official news agency reported.
Nayyer Bukhari said that the applications would be in the name of president PPPP and sent the same to the address of Bilawal House Karachi or House No. 1, Street 85, Embassy Road, Islamabad.
On Thursday in Quetta, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari called for an end to political hatred and divisions and said a new era of politics should be initiated to ensure progress and prosperity of the country.
Addressing a public gathering on the PPP’s 56th Foundation Day, the former foreign minister stressed the importance of introducing a ‘People’s Charter of Economy’ for empowering the citizens financially to combat high prices and inflation currently affecting the entire nation.
Bilawal expressed the resolve that after voted to power in the upcoming elections, the PPP would further expand the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) to the unemployed youth by launching Benazir youth cards.
For farmers, Kissan Cards would be introduced with the aim to make the agricultural sector, which serves as the backbone of the country’s economy, more self-sufficient, he added. Furthermore, he committed to introducing the Benazir Mazdoor Card.
The PPP chairman said the former Sindh government provided free medical facilities, particularly for heart patients in the province, and that free treatment plan would be extended to the residents of every district of Balochistan.
Additionally, complimentary cardiovascular treatment services would be introduced in Quetta, he added.
Bilawal expressed the hope that the next chief minister of Balochistan would be from the PPP. He commended the sacrifices made by the people of the province in their resistance against dictatorship.
The PPP chairman pledged to uphold the Constitution, emphasising that he would not budge from this commitment whether he was in the government or in the opposition.
