PML-N Party Manifesto for Elections 2024

With Pakistan’s General Elections 2024 just two days away, all political parties are in full campaign mode to try and secure as many voters as possible. Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) has also shared their party manifesto for the elections in hopes of convincing voters to side with them for the next five years.

The PML-N manifesto was originally revealed last month after some delay that was attributed to the party’s focus on comprehensive reforms, which involved formation of 32 committees to draft it, including an assessment of the party’s past performance.

PML-N’s main focus remains on the following points:

4% GDP growth by the end of the year 2025, 5% GDP growth by the end of 2026, and over 6% GDP growth consistently in the years following
