Elections crucial for survival of Pakistan: Zardari

26 Jan, 2008

The widower of slain premier Benazir Bhutto on Friday said his party was certain of victory in next month's general elections and that they would unearth the conspiracy behind his wife's assassination.
Asif Ali Zardari, who became co-chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party after her assassination last month, sought voter support for his party in the February 18 polls.
"Coming elections are crucial for the federation and the survival of Pakistan. People should vote for PPP to save Pakistan," Zardari told a press conference. "According to our assessment, we are winning the election across Pakistan." If they win, "we will unearth the conspiracy behind Benazir Bhutto's killing," he said.
