Jahangir Tareen, Patron Chief of the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP), exercised his right to vote in Lodhran on Thursday and stressed the importance of forming a stable government after the 2024 general elections.
While interacting with the media, Tareen commended the smooth conduct of the polling process and expressed his hope for victory in both his contested constituencies. He reiterated his party’s commitment to establishing a stable government that can ensure long-term economic stability and national strength.
He emphasized the importance of voting as a responsibility and a powerful tool for shaping the nation's future.
“A government should be formed that can last for five years,” Tareen stressed, highlighting the need for sustained leadership to drive economic progress. He underscored the nation's united stance against terrorism and condemned recent attacks on youth.
Commenting on the ongoing elections, Tareen expressed satisfaction with the process and his party's performance. "The polling process is going well," he said, "and I'm contesting from both my constituencies. God willing, IPP candidates will win."
His primary concern, however, focused on the nation's future stability. "A stable government should be formed," he emphasized. "We need a government that can last five years to ensure economic stability, which will ultimately strengthen the country."
When pressed about the potential outcome of the elections, Tareen remained cautious. "Let February 8th pass first," he responded to a journalist's question about government formation. "I'll answer all questions then."
