Asif Ali Zardari at a campaign rally for the 2024 general elections on the 16th anniversary of the assassination of his wife, ex-Prime Minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto, in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh village, Larkana on Dec. 27, 2023.
He is the widower of assassinated former premier Benazir Bhutto and the father of former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.
The Pakistani presidency is a largely ceremonial role. Zardari was previously in the job between 2008 and 2013. Zardari was the joint candidate of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League, or PML-N, party of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his other political allies. He said that he hoped that Zardari would fulfill his constitutional responsibilities in an efficient manner.
Last month’s poll was overshadowed by militant violence, an unprecedented cellphone shutdown and vehement claims of vote-rigging from Khan’s party.
