The author shows how Bhutto and his P.P.P. organized the campaign despite its being a new party. Its programme and campaign caught the aspirations of the people. Bhutto raised his voice against rightist parties, which in the name of religion were supported by feudal elements, a section of capitalists and imperialists. His slogan of ‘food, clothing and shelter to all’, and of establishing Islamic Socialism, of safeguarding social mobility, brought the P.P.P. to power. The author vividly describes the election campaigns, the strategy and slogans to show the working of a ‘party’ in an ‘election’.
