Lahore – Punjab Governor Sardar Saleem Haider has made a candid admission, stating that his party is supporting the current government out of compulsion rather than genuine willingness, while expressing confidence that PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will be the next Prime Minister of Pakistan.
Addressing party workers, Governor Haider urged them to remain fully prepared for upcoming political developments. “Workers should maintain their complete readiness; the next Prime Minister will be Bilawal Bhutto,” the Governor declared, signaling the PPP’s long-term political strategy and aspirations.
The Governor’s frank statement reveals the underlying tensions within the ruling coalition, suggesting that the Pakistan Peoples Party’s support for the government is driven by political necessity rather than ideological alignment or satisfaction with the current setup.
“We are not supporting this government out of love; we are doing so out of compulsion,” Haider stated, highlighting the pragmatic approach his party has adopted in the current political landscape. The remarks indicate that while the PPP remains part of the ruling alliance, it maintains its own distinct political ambitions and future plans.
The Governor’s comments come at a time when coalition partners have occasionally voiced concerns over policy decisions and governance matters. His public acknowledgment of supporting the government reluctantly underscores the fragile nature of political alliances in Pakistan’s parliamentary system.
By projecting Bilawal Bhutto as the future Prime Minister, the PPP appears to be positioning itself for a leadership role beyond the current government’s term. The party seems to be maintaining its support base while keeping its options open for future political scenarios.
Political analysts suggest that such statements reflect the PPP’s strategy of remaining in government to protect its interests while simultaneously preparing its workers for a potential shift in political dynamics.
