President
Asif Ali Zardari has been emerging as one of the strongest power-brokers in
Elections 2013 in Pakistan. The PPP strange but meaningful silence for not launching
a political campaign may apparently seem due to threats from the TTP and PPP
bad performance in the previous government. This is what the popular media
which has remained anti-Zardari for the last five years is telling us. However,
there is something deep which might startle students of politics in the end.
Zardari
has remained successful to keep himself aloof from the ongoing tussle between
Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan which is now in the critical stage and which is
closing the doors for any alliance between Imran Khan and Nawaz Sharif for the formation of government in the
center. Thus whoever takes most of the seats will solely rely on PPP which is
supposed to get a maximum number of 50 or more seats in the center and
a considerable majority in Sind.
The
PPP’s bargaining chip in the post-elections scenario would possibly be
unconditional support to any major party in the center in exchange for
accepting President Asif Ali Zardari for another five years as the President of
Pakistan and the office of Chief Minister of PPP in Sind.
