Zardari gives Bilawal green signal to choose his team

KARACHI: A decision has been taken in principle to do the overdue reorganisation of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP).

It emerged on Wednesday that the Pakistan People's Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari has given green signal in this regard to his son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, chairman of the PPP. Bilawal has been given a go ahead by his father to install his own team comprising his confidants in the party to run the organisational affairs of PPP by bringing in new leaders at the provincial level.

Decision to this effect was made when Bilawal Bhutto Zardari met Asif Ali Zardari in the United States. Both are currently touring the US. Bilawal is likely to return to Islamabad soon via Dubai. He is likely to launch consultations with senior leadership of the party from Islamabad. Later, the PPP chairman is expected to meet office-bearers, activists and followers of the party from the four provinces, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
