Salam Overseas Pakistanio,
I imagine most of us are glued to the screens following every development in Pakistan and wonder; What can I do to make Pakistan more stable?
Quoting from my recent article in Dawn:
As per our calculations, for the PTI to form a simple majority government, along with the newly joined independents, would require 12 additional seats, with 19,356 additional votes.
The best thing we can do is vote in huge numbers in the next elections. Something Election Commission is making almost impossible to do.
Overseas Pakistanis are working on mounting legal challenges against Election Commission in multiple provinces in Pakistan to make it easy for us to vote.
Currently, we need an additional ~ $1000 for expenses coming up in the next few weeks. Consider supporting the cause.
Pls support generously, so we can all play a part in forming a stable government in Pakistan in the next elections inshallah.
