Bilawal Bhutto Zardari highlighted that the amendment seeks to remove the provincial share protection in the NFC Award and proposes changes to Article 243 of the Constitution. He further added that it also aims to return the powers of education and population planning to the federal government.

Discussing another key point, Bilawal mentioned that the amendment intends to resolve the ongoing deadlock over ECP appointments, which has been a major source of political tension between the government and the opposition.

The PPP chairman also announced that the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the party has been summoned to meet on November 6, where the party’s final stance on the proposed 27th Amendment will be decided.

Bilawal said the policy decision would be made after President Asif Ali Zardari’s return from Doha, ensuring that all senior party members participate in shaping the PPP’s response to this significant constitutional development.
