Bhutto’s legacy: President Zardari?
Asif Ali Zardari, husband to the late Benazir Bhutto, looks likely to be elected President of Pakistan when the Pakistan Parliament votes on September 6.
Zardari became leader of the PPP upon Bhutto’s assassination last December, and was yesterday nominated as his party’s candidate for the presidency. He announced that he had accepted the nomination today.
Zardari’s decision to stand could, according to the BBC, threaten the coalition currently running the Parliament, as his main coalition partner, Nawaz Sharif, is against him becoming president, preferring a “consensus president”.
