The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) is a centre-left political party in Pakistan, recognized as the largest party in the Senate and the second-largest in the National Assembly. Founded in 1967 in Lahore, the party emerged when several prominent left-wing politicians united against the rule of Ayub Khan, led by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. The PPP is affiliated with the Socialist International. Historically, its platform was socialist, and it continues to advocate for transforming Pakistan into a social-democratic state, promoting egalitarian values, establishing social justice, and maintaining a robust military presence. Alongside the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, the PPP ranks among the three largest political parties in the country.
