 has hinted at joining the race for the coveted slot of prime minister.In an interview with a private news channel on Monday, the "king of reconciliation" said: "I can be a candidate for prime ministership and Bilawal too. Even Khursheed Shah can be the candidate."

Without unveiling the name of PPP’s candidate for the top slot, the former president said: "Time will tell who will be the candidate."

All political parties are gearing up for the general elections set to take place across the country on February 8, 2024, with some expressing fears that the security situation is still not feasible to stage them.

Responding to a question, Zardari claimed he made Shehbaz Sharif premier, adding that he arranged the required numbers to get him elected as the chief executive of the country.
