With elections less than 2 weeks away, PML-N finally unveils much-awaited manifesto

PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif unveiled his party’s much-anticipated election manifesto on Saturday, with the upcoming February 8 polls less than two weeks away.

Speaking at a party event in Lahore, he said that the PML-N’s manifesto has been prepared with “great efforts” and would be “fully implemented” if voted to power.

While the former premier recalled the PML-N’s previous tenures, saying there was “no inflation” back then, the detailed manifesto was shared by the party on its official account on social media platform X.

Nawaz termed the country’s economy as the most important aspect of the manifesto.

At the outset of his address, he said it felt “strange” despite him being ousted as the prime minister in 2017 and “political vendettas” against his party members, the PML-N was once again “preparing to contest elections and presenting its manifesto”.

If voted to power, the party vowed to provide the public with “cheap and increased electricity” as well as “speedy development”. Appeasing the youth, the party also promised to undertake several projects and schemes aimed at improving their skills and aiding literacy.

The manifesto was unveiled after the party’s political rivals, especially PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto, frequently assailed it for not disclosing its agenda despite the general elections being less than two weeks away.

“What kind of democracy and election is this where one party has a manifesto and another — which is pitting its nominee for the prime minister for the fourth time — says their [old] manifesto is [still] valid. They can’t even tell you that if they somehow get the chance again [to rule] for the fourth time, what they’ll do,” the PPP scion had said.
