Benazir Bhutto's 19-year-old son Bilawal will take her place as the leader of Pakistan's biggest opposition party, a close relative said today.
Bilawal Zardari, a history student at Christ Church College, Oxford, will be named chairman of the Pakistan Peoples party (PPP). But it would be largely a symbolic role and he would continue his studies, according to the relative who was taking part in an emergency meeting of the party in the Bhuttos' home town of Naudero in Sindh province southern.
Keeping a member of the Bhutto dynasty as a figurehead at the top of the party would help maintain its unity, senior officials argued. But the day-to-day running of the party would be left in the hands of senior party officials and the slain leader's husband, Asif Ali Zardari.
Bilawal Zardari is due to read his mother's will today, and the party leadership must also decide whether to take part in elections that are due to go ahead on January 8.
Many in the PPP argued that there should be no delay, in part because the party would benefit from a sympathy vote in the wake of Bhutto's assassination on Thursday. But officials of President Pervez Musharraf's party, the Pakistan Muslim League (Q), have hinted the election could be put off for a few months.
