| "Elected". Snort.
But yeah, Zardari was imprisoned for a large part of his married life due to corruption charges...they used to call him Mr 10% because he always angled for a cut of whatever money he was dealing in - illegally of course.
Benazir's son, Bilawal Bhutto is still studying at university. He remains chairman of the party as decided on his mother's death but evidently isn't taking on the role of President for some time. The nice and fluffy idea is that his dad takes on the role, thus preserving the family ruling elite. However, there's some debate as to whether that's even Zardari's aim. He's not part of the Bhutto political dynasty by birth but through an (acrimonious) marriage; some say he's out for himself, not for his party or his son or the memory of his late wife. It's all a big mess really. |
