ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has declared victory in the Senate elections even before the voting has been concluded for the polls.
Speaking to media, the PPP chairperson said the Pakistan Democrat Movement (PDM) will emerge victorious even if it receives a single extra vote in the polls. “Even a single vote more will be a bonus for PPP to lead in the Senate elections” he said, adding that PTI members are as angry with the government as the public.
“The puppet government has been exposed across the country. We have shown that their own members are afraid of the government,” he said. The PPP leader said that the prime minister will be ousted with the collective effort of the people and the opposition. “We will get him out of here together. PDM is with the people,” he added.
While taking a jibe at the incumbent government, Bilawal said those who should be winning the elections at ease are seen worried about the results. “They are losing, their government is leaving,” he said.
Voting for the much-anticipated Senate polls is underway as awmakers are voting on 37 vacant seats of the Upper House of Parliament with 11 senators elected unopposed from Punjab.
The polling is being held for 12 seats now each of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 11 of Sindh, and two of the federal capital. MPAs from three provincial assemblies are casting their vote for the candidates fielded from Balochistan, KP and Sindh, while MNAs will choose the representative from the federal capital.
