PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said his party has accepted the election results, despite concerns, in the larger interest of the country.

“We want all the political parties to address the shortcomings so that no one can point fingers at elections the next time. We will also utilise available forums like ECP, parliament, etc in addressing these issues,” he said at a press conference in Islamabad.

He said that his party had raised concerns regarding a level playing field with Asif Ali Zardari during the PPP’s Central Executive Committee meeting and the latter had assured that these complaints would be addressed.

“In conclusion, the PPP has made the decision that we may not be a part of the government but we will engage with political parties on the issue of votes and the election of prime minister.

“I am assuring the public that the Parliament will be formed and it is a forum where their issues will be resolved,” Bilawal added.
