The [[Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians]] (PPPP) is a dynastic political party led by [[Asif Ali Zardari]], who serves as the [[President of Pakistan]]. The party is chaired by his son, [[Bilawal Bhutto Zardari]], while his daughter, [[Asifa Bhutto Zardari]], also holds a position as a Member of the [[National Assembly of Pakistan| National assembly]] (MNA). | |||
Since its establishment in 1967, the PPPP has been a significant centre-left force in Pakistani politics, with leadership predominantly concentrated within the Bhutto family. Its primary base of power is in the southern province of [[Sindh]]. The People's Party has been elected to power on five occasions (1970, 1977, 1988, 1993, and 2008) and has served as the largest opposition party four times (1990, 1997, 2002, and 2013). The party has produced a total of four prime ministers. In the 2018 general elections and the upcoming 2024 general elections, the PPPP secured the third position in the [[National Assembly of Pakistan]]. | |||
The PPP dominated Pakistani politics during the 1970s but experienced a temporary decline during the military dictatorship of General [[Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq]]. Following Zia's death and the restoration of so-called democracy in 1988, a two-party system emerged, primarily involving the People's Party and the [[Islami Jamhoori Ittehad|Islamic Democratic Alliance]], which was later succeeded by the Nawaz League. From 1999 to 2008, the PPP served as the principal opposition to the military government led by General [[Pervez Musharraf]]. | |||
In the 2013 general elections, the party faced defeat, losing significant support in [[Punjab, Pakistan | Punjab Province]] to the rising [[Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf]] (PTI), although it managed to retain its provincial government in Sindh. In the 2018 general elections, the PPP for the first time failed to form a government or emerge as the largest opposition party, a position that persisted in the 2024 general elections. | |||
