Reason Behind The Resignation?
Asif Zardari’s resignation from the party comes at a time when some quarters are criticising him for leading a political party despite being the President of the country.
Zardari Sets New History
A widower of slain prime minister Benazir Bhutto, Zardari defeated Mahmood Khan Achakzai, who was backed by the Sunni Ittehad Council, in the presidential election earlier this year.
Zardari, the seasoned politician of Pakistan, was supported by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and coalition parties in the election.
His election marks a historic milestone as he has become only politician to serve as the President of Pakistan for the second time.
