In a press conference held in Karachi, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari expressed firm confidence in his party’s success in the upcoming February 8 elections, stating that they would emerge victorious “with or without a level-playing field.”
“پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی کو کسی بھی انتخابات میں لیول پلینگ فیلڈ نہیں ملی اور اس بار بھی لیول پلینگ فیلڈ ہو یا نہ ہو پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی انتخابات جیتے گی۔”

Bilawal was joined by former Sindh chief minister Syed Murad Ali Shah and Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab during the conference.
Bilawal made a bold declaration that not only would the PPP secure a majority in the province but also at the federal level, positioning the party for leadership in both Sindh and the nation.
He emphasized the historic nature of this potential victory, suggesting that a “jiyala” (a devoted PPP supporter) could become the prime minister, chief minister of Sindh, and mayor of Karachi simultaneously.
Addressing the challenges facing Karachi, Bilawal pledged to transform the city’s fortunes and improve the province if the PPP were to secure victory in the upcoming elections.
He outlined plans to establish sports facilities in each district of Karachi, with a particular focus on engaging the youth in sports to steer them away from negative activities.
Bilawal emphasized the importance of empowering the youth with skills for sustainable livelihoods, underlining the PPP’s commitment to helping those in need.
He urged the people of Karachi and Malir to utilize their voting power to usher in prosperity for the metropolis.
When questioned about a level-playing field, Bilawal noted that the PPP has historically faced challenges in this regard. However, he remained resolute, referencing past instances where the party succeeded despite such obstacles, emphasizing that the will of the people ultimately prevailed.
The chairman affirmed the PPP’s dedication to its mission of serving the masses, promising to continue their efforts if elected into power.
“عوام پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی کے ساتھ ہے اور انشاءاللہ 8 فروری کو عوام جوش و جذبہ کے ساتھ باہر نکل کر تیر پر مہر لگا کر ناصرف صوبائی بلکہ وفاقی حکومت بھی بنائیں گے۔”
