After a well-received whirlwind tour of Sindh, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zarari has now entered Punjab in an attempt to turn the tide in his party's favour in the province.

Bilawal will reach Uch Sharif later in the day.

The PPP was the first among the three major parties to announce its manifesto (PTI has yet to announce one), that the late Benazir Bhutto's son has dutifully carried on his campaign trail — from Gharo to Pir jo Goth and Tando Jam to Qazi Ahmed.

Can the young leader win over Punjab?
