ISLAMABAD, July 14 (TNS): Chairman Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) said on Saturday that former president Asif Ali Zardari will be the perfect choice for the prime minister position if a coalition government takes shape after the outcome of general elections on July 25.
“He [Zardari] has experience managing a coalition government and not just managing but he was the first civilian president to complete his term and the coalition government was also the first to complete its full-term,” Bilawal said in an interview.
Bilawal added that the coalition government which was led by his party had achieved historic feats. “It passed the 18th amendment, NFC award, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, devolution of powers, investment in CPEC and local economies, social protection programmes, labour, human and agricultural rights.”
When asked why he would not be the prime minister if a coalition government is formed, Bilawal responded that he was 100 per cent ready for the responsibility.
“PPP has ideological differences with the PML-N and PTI. I think that whoever can implement our manifesto and assure us that the NFC award will be implemented and there will be no compromise on the 18th amendment, then we can join hands with them.”
Bilawal emphasized that the best scenario would be for the coalition government to be led by the PPP.
