General elections 2018

BPP fielded 12 candidates for 5 Provincial and 7 National Assembly, including one woman, in 2018 elections, all of them belonging to the middle class, working class and youth, against the political stalwarts in the country. Jawad Ahmad^[5][6][7][8] himself challenged Imran Khan, Shehbaz Sharif and Bilawal Zardari Bhutto^[9][10] representing the three major political parties in Pakistan, in 2018 elections. He believes that these parties represent the elites in the country and election is a form of business for these parties. Jawad Ahmad further elaborates that ninety-nine percent of Pakistan population belongs to the middle and working class and unless candidates representing this ninety-nine percent of the population enter the parliament to work on people-centric legislation, nothing will change and status quo will keep on existing.^{[citation needed]}

The party did not win any seat and their deposits in all contested constituencies were forfeited.
