Local govt polls to be held in Sindh next year: PPP
“By the grace of Allah Almighty, local government elections will be held for the third time in Sindh in 2027,” senior PPP leader Senator Waqar Mehdi said in a statement issued in response to a recent statement by PML-N leader Khawaja Saad Rafique. In a post on X, Rafique had criticised PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari’s demand for local government elections in Punjab and the federal capital, saying such polls should not be held on the pattern followed in Sindh. He said it was Mr Bhutto-Zardari’s rightful demand that LG polls be held soon in Punjab and Islamabad, but not on the pattern of Karachi elections.
