Who we are
The Pakistan Peoples Party was founded in Lahore on 30 November 1967 under the leadership of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. From its first convention in this city, the party grew into a national movement that has shaped Pakistan's constitution, its federation and its democratic politics for more than half a century.
Today the party is led by Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. The Lahore Division chapter organises party workers across ten towns, 433 union councils and thirteen allied wings, from ward organisers to divisional office bearers.
