has ruled out seeking another presidential term after his present five-year tenure expires in September, saying he believed he had no right to participate in the next presidential election

President Zardari on Sunday said the credit of strong democracy and smooth transition of power following the May 11 election went to all the political forces who ensured that democracy remained the main driving force of the country. In an interview with a panel of journalists, the president said not only Nawaz Sharif

but other political parties also supported the PPP for the sake of democracy and made the transition a success.

Zardari said that if the Pakistain Peoples' Party (PPP) asked him to lead the party, he would do so, or else he would work as a party worker. Zardari termed the democratic transition of power a landmark achievement in the history of the country, adding that if the PPP gave him a leadership role he would work for its re-organization, otherwise would only work for party as an ordinary worker.
