Zardari family

The Zardari family is a prominent political family in Pakistan, primarily known for its association with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and its influence in the Sindh province.

The family's prominence rose with the marriage of Asif Ali Zardari to Benazir Bhutto, daughter of former Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. Benazir Bhutto herself served as Prime Minister of Pakistan twice. Asif Ali Zardari served as the President of Pakistan from 2008 to 2013.

The family's political influence is largely concentrated within the PPP. After Benazir Bhutto's assassination in 2007, Asif Ali Zardari became the co-chairman of the PPP, later passing the mantle to his son, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

The Zardari family has been the subject of both admiration and controversy throughout its political involvement. Supporters credit them with promoting democratic values and social justice, particularly in Sindh. Critics have often accused family members of corruption and abuse of power. The family has faced numerous legal challenges and investigations regarding alleged financial misconduct, some of which remain unresolved.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has continued the family's political legacy, actively participating in Pakistani politics and advocating for the PPP's platform. The Zardari family remains a significant force in Pakistani politics, particularly within the Sindh province, where the PPP continues to hold considerable sway.
