Zardari not in run for Pakistan PM

Karachi, Feb 4 : Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari is not vying for the slot of Pakistan Prime MInister in case his party manages to form the government after emerging as a majority party in the wake of elections. The Nation quoted him as saying that his main task was to strengthen and unite the Pakistan People's Party.

A close aide of PPP Co-Chairman Asif Zardari asserted that Mr Zardari was not ambitious for holding the slot of Prime Minister, stating that after the martyrdom of PPP Chairperson Benazir Bhutto, some high-ups from the Presidency had met him at Naudero and offered him the PM's slot in the caretaker set-up, a scheme aimed at postponing elections for two years. He stressed that those who were dreaming that PPP would split apart were living in fool's paradise.
