Editorial: Something of a coup for Zardari in Pakistan?

THE nomination of Asif Ali Zardari for the office of president seems to have stunned everyone, including the people of Pakistan. During the long struggle for the removal of Pervez Musharraf by the politicians, civil society groups and the lawyers’ movement, this was one possibility that was never considered.

But the prospect of Benazir Bhutto’s widower taking over from Musharraf has always been there. Only they did not expect Musharraf would eventually go. And even if some of them did, no one thought Zardari would step forward to replace him.

Pakistan First

I have started this website for the interest of Pakistan. We are here to appreciate any thing PPP does in the interest of Pakistan and report anything which is not in the interest of Pakistan. Nothing else. Our goal is clear and that is Pakistan First as our Previous President who always believed in this slogan and repeatedly mentioned it. He is gone and we wish him the best.
