Former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's son Bilawal has been named the chairman of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP). Bhutto's husband Makhdoom Fahim was widely known as Benazir's right hand man. He led the party in Benazir's absence, from 1999 to October 2007. A Benazir loyalist, Amin Fahim is the quintessential party man, who never wavered in his loyalties towards his leader in all these years. He was in the same vehicle as the now departed leader, at the time she was assassinated.
Benazir Bhutto's close aide Sherry Rehman said that PPP couldnÂ’t thrust party leadership on Bilawal. Rehman had said that Bilawal was keen to complete his studies but that does not rule him out. Even if he is chosen, there might be someone who will take over for some time.
Bilawal Zardari, born on 21 September 1988, is the Son of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and Asif Zardari. The 19-year-old Bilawal is set to study political science at Oxford University. Bilawal graduated from Rashid School for Boys in Dubai. He successfully gained top grades in his GCSE exams. Like his father, Bilawal enjoys horse riding and like both the Bhutto and the Zardari clan, he has a passion for hunting and target shooting. Physical fitness is important to Bilawal Zardari and he is already a black belt in Taekwondo. He has two younger sisters,
