PPP will not boycott general elections: Rashid
Former railways minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said on Friday that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) would not boycott the upcoming general elections.
I do not see PPP boycotting the general elections. It will participate in the process but will adopt a different strategy keeping in view the elections results, he told CNBC. He said the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q), PPP, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) would emerge as major political parties after the elections. He said the PML-Q would emerge as a strong political party in the elections because of unprecedented development projects across the country during its tenure. To a question about the PML-Nawazs position in the elections, he said the PML-N did not have enough candidates to field in all constituencies.
