Saeed Ghani said on the occasion that the PPP was the only political party in the country that had never come into power through the backdoor as it had always formed the government on the basis of the people’s mandate.

He acknowledged on the occasion that there were numerous public issues in the city but the ruling PPP had been doing its best to resolve them in the shortest possible time.

Ghani, who is President of PPP Karachi’s chapter, said that people knew very well the elements who in the past had used undemocratic means to come into power.

He mentioned that the people of Sindh had rejected the anti-PPP opposition parties in the local government elections held in the first phase in areas of Sukkur, Mirpurkhas and Nawabshah.

He expressed optimism that the People’s Party would emerge victorious in the same manner in the second phase of the local government elections to be held in Karachi, Hyderabad, and other areas of the province.

He said the next elected mayor of Karachi would belong to the PPP.

Ghani said the PPP’s Sindh government had been carrying out numerous development works in all the UCs of the District East.
