LAHORE: The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has stepped up its organisational restructuring campaign in Lahore, announcing the issuance of formal notifications to around 300 party officials across 20 zones of five towns on May 31.
Lahore PPP President Faisal Mir said the initiative is part of the party’s broader strategy to strengthen its grassroots presence ahead of the upcoming local government elections, with the entire reorganisation expected to be wrapped up within a matter of weeks.
The five towns earmarked for the first phase of zonal announcements are Iqbal Town, Raiwind Town, Ravi Town, Shalimar Town, and Nishtar Town.
Mir said the remaining five towns — Model Town, Wahga Town, Sadar Town, Cantt Town, and City Town — will have their zonal officeholders announced by June 5, ensuring that the first tier of reorganisation across all ten towns is completed well ahead of schedule.
In the second phase, the party plans to issue notifications to nearly 6,000 officials spread across approximately 450 union councils, with the process set to begin on June 7 and all union council-level organisations to be formally announced by June 25.
Mir also confirmed that the restructuring effort extends beyond the main party body to include its full range of affiliated wings, among them the Women Wing, Youth Wing, Minority Wing, Labour Wing, Lawyers Wing, Cultural Wing, Traders Wing, Doctors Forum, Study Circle, Human Rights Wing, and the Pakistan Students Federation, all of which are being reorganised under the same comprehensive plan.
Outlining the party’s electoral ambitions, Mir said the PPP intends to contest every single seat in Lahore in the next local government elections. With preparations underway for nearly 6,000 candidates, he expressed confidence that the party would reassert itself as the dominant political force in the city.
