Asif Ali Zardari is a Pakistani politician who is the president of Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians and was the co-chairperson of the Pakistan People’s Party.
He served as the 11th president of Pakistan from 2008 to 2013, the first president born after Independence. He is the widower of the twice-elected Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto. He has been a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan since August 2018.
The son of Hakim Ali Zardari, a landowner from Sindh, Zardari rose to prominence after his marriage to Benazir Bhutto in 1987, who became the Prime Minister of Pakistan after her election in 1988. When Bhutto’s government was dismissed by President Ghulam Ishaq Khan in 1990, Zardari was widely criticized for involvement in corruption scandals that led to its collapse.
Zardari held the positions of Federal Investment Minister and Chairperson of the Pakistan Environmental Protection Council when Bhutto was re-elected in 1993. Murtaza, the brother of Bhutto who was having problems with Zardari, was assassinated by police on September 20, 1996, in Karachi.
Bhutto’s government was dismissed a month later by President Farooq Leghari, while Zardari was arrested and indicted for Murtaza’s murder as well as corruption charges
