PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said he’s the best candidate to become prime minister at the moment owing to the solid grasp he has on multiple issues across the country.

In an interview with The Independent Urdu, the former foreign minister lamented the worsening crises of poverty, inflation and unemployment, as well as the return of terrorism in Pakistan.

“There is a fever of hyperpartisanship and polarisation across the country, and we need to break that fever,” Bilawal said. “I am not just ready [for premiership], I’m the best person to tackle all these issues.”

“Our election campaign has been fantastic, and the response from the people has exceeded our expectations,” he added, claiming that PPP is the only political party in Pakistan to have campaigned in all four provinces.
