Federal Minister for Science and Technology Syed Shibli Faraz has said that the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) would come up with a new strategy to clinch the next phases of local government elections with thumping majority.

There was a need to bring improvement in the campaign, he said, adding that it was the first phase of the LG elections in KP.
He said the current wave of inflation and weak election drive could be the reasons of such results.
We will rectify the mistakes and move forward with better mechanism to win the next phases of LG elections and general polls 2023 with thumping majority, he stated.
