KARACHI: President of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP)'s Sindh wing Nisar Ahmed Khuhro announced that Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will be contesting the upcoming general elections from NA-200 in Larkana.

The constituency comprises of Larkana city, Ratodero Taluka and areas that fall under the limits of Aqil town. "We challenge all opposition parties to field their candidates against Bilawal," Khuhro said.

This constituency was previously known as NA-207 from where Bilawal's mother Benazir Bhutto used to contest the polls. PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardar's sister Faryal Talpur won this seat in the last general elections defeating Ghinwa Bhutto.

After the recent delimitation of the constituencies, this seat has now been renamed as NA-200.

"Bilawal will win with record votes from Larkana," Khuhro said. "The 2018 elections will be the first for Bilawal and the last for all his opponents," he further added. "The Senate elections have shown that Nawaz Sharif is going to fail," he boasted.

Khuhro further said that they will work day in and day out for Bilawal, and that they would love to see him on the prime minister's seat. "We will defeat the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in Punjab as well," he said.
