Our Manifesto

Pakistan's economy has too long been structured to benefit those who are already powerful. Awam League will pursue economic policies that break this cycle.

• Implement progressive taxation that asks more from those who have more, and relieves ordinary wage earners
• Support small and medium businesses through targeted credit, reduced regulatory burden, and infrastructure investment
• Prioritise agricultural reform — fair prices for farmers, improved irrigation, and access to modern farming methods
• Combat corruption and tax evasion, which drain hundreds of billions from Pakistan's public finances every year
• Attract responsible foreign investment through stable, transparent policy — not short-term deals that benefit insiders

Education is the single greatest investment Pakistan can make.

• Free, compulsory, quality education from primary through secondary level
• Elimination of the multi-tier school system that divides Pakistani children by their parents' income
• A modernised curriculum — one that teaches critical thinking, science, and civic values alongside traditional subjects
• Special focus on girls' education, particularly in rural and remote areas
• Merit-based access to higher education and expansion of technical and vocational training

Pakistan spends far too little on public healthcare. The consequences fall hardest on those who can least afford it.

• Significantly increase public spending on healthcare as a percentage of GDP
• Establish and strengthen district-level hospitals with adequate staffing and medicine supply
• Develop a national health insurance framework for low-income families
• Prioritise maternal and child health, which remain crises in many parts of Pakistan
• Invest in preventive care, clean water, and sanitation — the foundations of a healthy population

Pakistan's justice system is too slow, too expensive, and too often inaccessible to ordinary citizens.

• Judicial reform that reduces case backlogs and ensures timely justice
• An independent judiciary, free from executive pressure and interference
• Legal aid for those who cannot afford representation
• Full constitutional rights for all citizens, including minorities and women
• Police reform — accountable, professional, and oriented toward protecting citizens rather than power

Women and young people make up the majority of Pakistan's population. Their full inclusion in economic and political life is not optional — it is essential.

• Full enforcement of existing legal protections against harassment, violence, and discrimination
• Access to economic opportunity — credit, training, property rights
• Political representation at every level of government

• Job creation and skills training aligned with the real economy
• Digital literacy programs and technology access
• A genuine voice in political decision-making — not tokenism

Pakistan's problems do not exist in a vacuum. They are partly the product of weak institutions.

• Civil service reform — merit-based recruitment, professional development, and protection from political interference
• Media freedom — an independent press is not a threat to good governance, it is a requirement for it
• Electoral reform — a credible, transparent election system that Pakistanis can trust
• Decentralisation — giving provinces and local governments the resources and authority to solve local problems

Awam League believes in a foreign policy based on Pakistan's national interest — not dependence on any single power, and not ideological alignment that serves outside interests.

• Strong regional relationships, including a pragmatic approach to relations with neighbours
• Active engagement with the Pakistani diaspora, whose contributions to the national economy are vital
• Multilateral cooperation on shared challenges — climate change, terrorism, trade
