ISLAMABAD:
Dispelling rumours, presidential spokesperson Senator Farhatullah Babar has announced that President Asif Ali Zardari will not be resigning any time soon, reported Express News on Friday.
According to Babar, there is no question of a resignation.
Despite suffering a historic defeat at the centre and in three provinces, the PPP has surprised many by retaining its earlier position in Sindh by again winning a simple majority here.
The party has bagged 67 seats in the province, according to unofficial results of the 2013 elections. It took 68 in the 2008 elections.
Some analysts and politicians expected that the party will lose its mandate in Sindh owing to unpopular policies it pursued during its reign.
The incoming government of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is in the process of finalising a list of its cabinet members as well as various other portfolios.
Nawaz Sharif has officially designated Senator Ishaq Dar as the federal minister for finance and Sartaj Aziz as the adviser to the prime minister on economy and foreign affairs, as the PML-N works towards finalising its cabinet.
The Sharif brothers are dealing with various lobbies within the party to decide who gets which cabinet slot.
