Asif Ali Zardari expressed hopes for the timely occurrence of Senate elections during Tuesday, adding that the leaders of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) always supported him. The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had announced yesterday that Senate elections will be held on March 3 as 52 Senators from various political parties are due to retire after completing their three-year term.

He also mentioned that the PPP leaders faced all cases against them without backing out or criticizing the system. Zardari showed concerns on the "narrow-mindedness" of the leaders. He claimed that all MNAs were provided with funds during their tenure. Asif Ali Zardari hoped that his party will form government in Punjab after 2018 general elections. He lashed out at the Punjab government at the law and order situation in South Punjab, highlighting the comparison with Lahore. He stressed that the ruling PML-N government was not able to understand CPEC properly.
