Benazir Bhutto's 19 year-old son, Bilawal Bhutto, has succeeded her as Chairman of the Pakistan People's Party, with his father, Asif Ali Zardari, as Co-Chairman

The PPP wishes the parliamentary elections, scheduled for January 8th, to go ahead as planned

No. At 19, Bilawal is legally too young to stand for parliament. Seemingly, for now, he's but a ceremonial figurehead of the PPP while he continues his studies at Oxford

It would seem that Benazir's will had named her husband Asif Ali Zardari to succeed her as Chairman, but he declined it in favour of their son. Zardari will serve as Co-Chairman until such time as Bilawal is ready to assume full control
