Garhi Khuda Bakhsh to Host Launch Event on Benazir Bhutto’s Anniversary
The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has officially announced its campaign for the 2024 General Elections, setting December 27 as the launch date. The party vows to run a positive and inclusive campaign, prioritizing national unity and shunning negativity.
Key Points:
- Campaign launch at Garhi Khuda Bakhsh on December 27 – anniversary of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination.

- Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari advocates for a “no hate” campaign focused on positivity and burying old political tactics.
- Senator Sherry Rehman demands a level playing field and adherence to the election schedule.
Breaking with Tradition:
The PPP’s “no hate” policy marks a significant departure from traditional Pakistani politics, which often rely on divisive rhetoric and negativity. This approach aligns with Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari’s vision of a united and prosperous Pakistan.
Campaign Launch and Schedule:
The December 27 launch event will be held at Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, Benazir Bhutto’s ancestral graveyard, symbolizing the party’s commitment to her legacy and principles. Following the schedule set by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), public notice will be issued on December 19, with nomination filing open from December 20 to 22.
Looking Ahead:
The PPP’s campaign promises to be a refreshing change in the Pakistani political landscape. By focusing on unity and positivity, the party aims to offer voters a viable alternative to the current political climate. Whether this approach will resonate with the electorate remains to be seen, but the PPP’s “no hate” campaign has undoubtedly injected a new dynamic into the 2024 elections.
