Bhutto’s Husband Won’t Seek PM PositionPosted on Feb 20, 2008
Although the late Benazir Bhutto’s party, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), fared well in Monday’s parliamentary election, her widower, Asif Ali Zardari (a controversial figure known in some circles as “Mr. Ten Percent”), isn’t planning to follow in her footsteps as Pakistan’s prime minister. Meanwhile, President Pervez Musharraf’s standing hangs in the balance; although he won’t step down after several of his allies were unseated in Monday’s vote, Musharraf’s opponents could push for his impeachment if they build enough momentum within the government.
