Zardari Calls the Shot


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.
