PTI launches ‘Naya Pakistan Fund’

ISLAMABAD: The problem with having young candidates is that they don’t often have pockets deep enough to run an election campaign.

In order to try and bridge that financial gap, The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Friday launched its online fundraising scheme, the ‘Naya Pakistan Fund’, to finance the election campaigns of its young candidates.

Considering that the PTI plans to give 25% of its tickets to persons under 35 years of age, that’s a lot of candidates.
