Pakistani General Elections Loom with Rise in Youth Voters

The TLP Chief Saad Hussain Rizvi urged the youth of Karachi to contribute to the political process and emphasized the potential resurgence of oppressive forces if citizens fail to cast their votes. Rizvi criticized past political tactics that exploited Karachi’s residents in the name of ethnicity and questioned the efficacy of parties that have been in power for three decades without improving the city’s conditions. The South Carolina Democratic Presidential Primary results have been announced, with President Biden taking the win. The election canvassing campaign continues across Pakistan, with over 120 million eligible voters set to cast their votes on February 8. A wave of fresh energy is about to hit the Pakistani polling as more than 20 million youth are set to make their voting debut, potentially shaping the political landscape.
