Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has revealed that he was offered to lead the next possible coalition government as the prime minister but declined the offer, stating that his party only wants to ensure democracy and the survival of the federation. Bhutto Zardari emphasized that the PPP does not seek federal ministries in return for supporting the PML-N‘s candidate for the position of the prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif.
The PPP, along with other parties, has formed a coalition government with the PML-N, aiming to address the political landscape following the February 8 general elections. Bhutto Zardari has also announced that his father, Asif Ali Zardari, will be the party’s candidate for president.Bhutto Zardari has expressed concern over the protests against rigging initiated by various parties in Sindh, likening the post-Feb 8 elections situation with the events of 1977 when his grandfather, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was denied victory, and the circumstances paved the way for martial law.
