| PPP will not boycott general elections: Rashid |
| 2007-11-17 |
| Former railways minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said on Friday that the Pakistan People’s 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-Nawaz’s position in the elections, he said the PML-N did not have enough candidates to field in all constituencies. |
