NAUDERO, Pakistan, Dec 30 (Reuters) -- Benazir Bhutto's party named her son and husband on Sunday to succeed the slain opposition leader but doubts grew about whether a Jan. 8 poll aiming to transform Pakistan from military rule would go ahead.And what do we know about dear old dad?
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, an Oxford law student who is now heir to the country's most powerful political dynasty, said:
"While I am at university ... my father will take care of the party. When I return, I promise to lead the party as my mother wanted me to."
His father then stopped reporters from asking further questions.
Nicknamed “Mr. Ten Percent” by Pakistanis because of allegations about kickbacks from his wife’s time in power, Asif Ali Zardari, 51, has gone from playboy to villain and now to grieving political widower.Yup... nothing to worry about here.
“Zardari has a very tainted record. He may not consider himself suitable for the party leadership,” Masood said.
