Pakistan's former Prime Minister, President Asif Ali Zardari, has been elected for a second term in office. Zardari previously served as Prime Minister from 2008 to 2013. His recent election victory came on Saturday, where he received more than twice as many votes from the country's electoral college compared to his competitor.
Zardari's win was supported by the ruling coalition, solidifying his position as the country's President. Notably, Zardari is the husband of the late Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who tragically was assassinated in 2007.
During his first term in office, Zardari faced various challenges and controversies but managed to navigate through them. His re-election signifies a vote of confidence from the electoral college and the ruling coalition in his leadership abilities.
Zardari's political career has been marked by both triumphs and tribulations, with his ties to the Bhutto family playing a significant role in shaping his political journey. As he embarks on his second term as President, many will be watching closely to see how he addresses the pressing issues facing Pakistan and how he continues to navigate the complex political landscape of the region.
