Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, the chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), praised the "excellent performance" of his party's candidates and supporters during the first round of the local body elections in Sindh.
The foreign minister claimed in a tweet sent on Monday from his Twitter account that people in Sindh rejected politics of hatred and division in favour of a peaceful, successful, and progressive nation.
Politics based on race or religion were rejected by the public. They selected Jinnah's, he wrote on the social media platform.
Unconfirmed and unofficial election results showed that the PPP candidates had a lead over their rivals in the very turbulent first round of Sindh's local body elections on Sunday.
More than 11 million voters in the province participated in the by-elections in 14 districts across four divisions.
