Islamabad: Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) disgruntled leader Ramesh Kumar on Friday joined the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).

Kumar reached the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) president office to submit the nomination papers from the minority seats. Speaking to the media in Islamabad, Kumar said, “I take the political decision watchfully.”

“I anticipate that the PPP will rule Islamabad. I will contest elections from NA-247 Karachi on the PPP’s ticket,” Kumar stated.

He said, “In December 2021, I told the former PTI chief that your time [politically] had come to an end according to the study of the stars.”.

Kumar predicted that no power could stop the PPP from coming into power.

Speaking about Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif, Kumar asserted: “Nawaz Sharif will very soon head back to abroad.”

Few days back, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari asserted that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif’s tenures were “no less than the dictatorships” for his party.

Speaking to media in Lahore, the former foreign minister said: “The PPP will spring its surprise in Punjab if it [PPP] gets the level playing field. We will take everybody on board if we vote for power.”

He praised the party workers, saying, “The PPP workers have always stood by the PPP during difficult times.”

Bhutto-Zardari said: “The options for the political parties to reach dialogues are always on the cards.”
