"Teenage son to take on Bhutto legacy" from Times of London reports that slain former Pakistan prime minister Benazir Bhutto's son Bilawal, a 19 year old Oxford freshman, will assume the reins of the PPP party leadership down the road. He is expected to address the party and read his mother's last testament. His mother never wanted him to feel compelled to enter the family's political dynasty, but it appears he will.
However, moves by his father to get involved again are not being well received as he was fingered as a major source of the scandals that plagued Bhutto's terms as prime minister. He seems to be looking to preserve his son's place until he is old enough to take the reins of party leadership
The PPP is looking to run Makhdoom Amin Fahim as the next candidate for the PPP in the upcoming elections. He is the scion of another feudal family in Pakistan.
