BabyBhutto not to contest by-election for NA seat
[DAWN] A daylong brouhaha on electronic media about the expected debut of Pakistain Peoples Party chairman Bilawal BabyBhutto Zardari
...Pak dynastic politician, son of Benazir Bhutto and grandon of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. As far as is known, Bilawal has no particular talents other than being pretty and being able to memorize political slogans, but he had the good luck to be born into the right family and he hasn't been assassinated yet...
in electoral politics died down on Thursday when a party front man said the young leader would not become a politician until the next general elections in 2018.
Earlier in the day, dozens of news channels speculated with gusto that Bilawal would enter contest for the NA-204 (Larkana) constituency and that Ayaz Soomro, the PPP leader who previously won the seat, had already resigned as MNA.
"There is no truth in the speculation that the party chairman is contesting by-election for a Larkana seat," Senator Farhatullah Babar told Dawn. "In fact, he is not going to contest any by-election till 2018 as per the decision of the party's high command."
Bilawal turned 25 last September and became eligible to contest for seats in the national and provincial legislatures.
Since then he has assumed charge of the party and made several speeches about its future vision.
In his speech on the PPP's 46th foundation day in November he explicitly mentioned 2018 as the year when the party would be regaining its 'past glory'.
