add to cart   close window

Pakistan People's Party leader Benazir Bhutto, will return as the country's Prime Minister if her efforts to patch together a coalition government success. In the parliamentary elections her party won a plurality but not a majority. In many respects, in fact, Nawaz Sharif, the Muslim League's leader, is the real winner in this election. Once a creature of General Mohammed Zia ul-Haq and the intelligence services, and an opportunistic ally of Pakistan's fundamentalists, he has remade himself as a neoliberal reformist and revived the party of Pakistan's founding fathers.
