Bilawal Bhutto declares AJK elections a historic vote

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has called the upcoming Azad Jammu and Kashmir

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has called the upcoming Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) elections a landmark moment for the region.

Addressing a political rally in Mirpur, Bilawal said the elections were not an ordinary political contest. He described them as among the most important elections in AJK’s history.

He said the decisions taken by voters would play a key role in determining the future direction of the region.

Bilawal said previous PPP leaders, including Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto and President Asif Ali Zardari, contributed to securing political and constitutional rights for the people of AJK.

He said he wanted to continue that legacy by working for greater empowerment and opportunities for the people of the region.

The PPP chairman said his party’s agenda focuses on strengthening self-governance, creating employment opportunities and giving people more control over decisions related to their future.

While speaking about Gilgit-Baltistan, Bilawal recalled his party’s promises of greater political rights, employment opportunities and increased autonomy for the people there.

He said the same vision was being presented for AJK, with a focus on improving governance and expanding public participation.

Bilawal added that the people of Kashmir should have access to rights and opportunities similar to those available to citizens in other parts of the region.

He urged voters to make decisions carefully, saying the upcoming elections would shape the political and social future of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

The AJK elections are expected to witness strong competition among political parties, with campaigns focusing on development, governance, employment and regional empowerment.
