Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) senior leader Raja Pervaiz Ashraf claimed on Tuesday that his party will spring its surprise in Punjab in the upcoming elections, slated to happen on February 8.
Addressing the press conference in Islamabad, Ashraf said: ‘’When any political party does not get a majority in the elections, then there is the option to opt for an alliance with the other political parties’’.
‘’There is no permanent opposition in politics that limits the politicians from negotiating with each other,’’ Ashraf said.
‘’Every party and candidate try their level best to clinch victory in the elections,’’ Ashraf said.
Speaking about his party’s election campaign, Ashraf said, ‘’The PPP is running an excellent electoral campaign.’’
He praised PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, saying, ‘’Asif Ali Zardari has also taken correct decisions during difficult times. Asif Zardari is a great politician’’.
Regarding his election campaign, Ashraf said: ‘’Raja Naveed Bhatti has announced to support me from PP-9.’’
