The PPP should have exhibited sportsman spirit by contesting the election.In a meeting with representatives of the Balochistan Assembly, the prime minister further said the boycott was against democratic traditions, adding that democracy would be strengthened with the PTI decision to contest.
Earlier on Friday, PPP announced its decision to boycott the presidential election in protest to the vote being brought forward without consultation.
PPP presidential candidate, Raza Rabbani during a news conference said the PPP was left with no other alternative but to boycott the election.
Rabbani added that the Supreme Court decision made it difficult for him and other opposition candidates to campaign in four provincial capitals and the federal capital Islamabad in just two days.
"The Supreme Court did not issue us any notices, nor did they hear us or provide us an opportunity to present our point of view... a unilateral decision was made."
