The central executive committee (CEC) of the Pakistan Peoples Party-Parliamentarians (PPPP) has formally given approval to the name of PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari as the prime ministerial candidate.
It reported that Bugti made the announcement as he attended the PPP's workers convention in Turbat, Balochistan. The convention was also attended by PPP stalwarts along with co-chairman and former president Asif Ali Zardari.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto received a death sentence during the regime of former military ruler General (retired) Ziaul Haq. The first elected prime minister of the country was accused of the murder of his political rival, Nawab Mohammed Ahmed Qasuri, leading to a trial.
The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) has approached the Supreme Court (SC) requesting a live telecast of the hearing on a presidential reference challenging the death sentence of former Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, according to ARY News.
Former President and the co-chairman of the Pakistan People's Party, Asif Ali Zardari, ruled out the possibility of seat adjustment with any political party in the 2024 general elections, ARY News reported on Tuesday.
The case alleges that Nawaz, former president Asif Ali Zardari and ex-prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani received luxury vehicles and gifts from the Toshakhana -- a government repository that stores gifts given to rulers, parliamentarians, bureaucrats and officials by heads of other governmen
Presiding Judge Mohammad Bashir, who on Wednesday summoned Zardari and other accused in the Thatta Water Supply corruption case, has now summoned him for the Park Lane case.
These summons have been served pertaining to their involvement in cases related to fake bank accounts and the alleged unauthorized utilization of the government's gift repository, known as Toshakhana, during the PPP's governance from 2008 to 2013.
