Zardari vows to revamp PPP after presidential tenure
[Dawn] Pakistain's President Asif Ali Ten Percent Zardari
... husband of the late Benazir Bhutto, who has been singularly lacking in curiosity about who done her in ...
Tuesday vowed to revamp his Pakistain People's Party (PPP) after stepping down as president of the country on September 9.

Highly reliable sources in the PPP told Dawn.com that the president, while meeting with big shots of the party including Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah, said he would devote himself towards making the party active again.

Alluding his post-September 9 plan, the president told the party leaders that he will visit all districts of Sindh province in the first stage followed by visits in Punjab.

Zardari did not seek re-election at Tuesday's vote for a new ceremonial head of state and his PPP is staring at a future of deep uncertainty.

The candidate of ruling Pakistain Mohammedan League-Nawaz (PML-N), Mamnoon Hussain has been elected as the 12th President of Pakistain.

Senior PPP leader and former home minister Sindh, Manzoor Wasan told Dawn.com that the president rebutted all speculations citing him leaving the country after stepping down as president.

Wasan quoted President Zardari as saying that he did not leave the country in adverse circumstances and vowed not to do so in the coming future also.

The PPP government was the first in Pakistain's history to complete a full five-year term and transfer power at the ballot box. But after a rudderless campaign, the party lost badly on polling day in May.
