Pakistan People Party (PPP)

The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) is the culmination of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s resolve to bring down the dictatorial regime of General Ayub Khan. He brought together all strata of the society at the Partys inaugural convention which was held in Lahore in 1967 when Ayub Khan led the dictatorial rule of Pakistan. Unperturbed by the very personal repercussions of their struggle for democracy in Pakistan, the group of revolutionaries came together from across the country to form Pakistan Peoples Party under the leadership of Shaheed Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

The nation needed a savior and a leader, to empower all people of Pakistan equally. Pakistan Peoples Party was his solution to the dictatorship and despotism destroying Pakistan. It inspired the beginning of an organized struggle for a peaceful and progressive Pakistan.

The Pakistan Peoples Party quickly became the first and only populist movement, that espoused policies such as land reforms to help the peasants; nationalization of industries, and administrative reforms to reduce the power of the bureaucrats.
