Addressing a rally in Ghizer, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari urged Gilgit-Baltistan voters to give his party a “heavy” mandate to safeguard the region’s rights. Recalling the nine seats the PPP won in the last GB elections, he claimed other seats had been stolen but asserted that this time, “no one can steal seats from you.”

Bhutto-Zardari expressed confidence that all three of Ghizer’s seats would belong to the PPP. He framed the call for a heavy majority as a necessity to complete the “incomplete” mission of his grandfather, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, and mother, Benazir Bhutto, in the region.

Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, addressing an election rally in Ghizer, has asked voters for a ‘heavy majority’ and a clear mandate in Gilgit Baltistan. He stated this support is necessary so he can advocate in Islamabad that Gilgit’s voice must be heard before any new province is created.

Bhutto Zardari expressed confidence that the PPP would win all three seats in Ghizer and alleged that nine of the party’s seats were ‘snatched’ in the previous election. He also reminded the crowd of past PPP contributions, noting that Benazir Bhutto granted Ghizer district status and Asif Ali Zardari gave Gilgit its ‘identity’.
