PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said that the presidential nominee and his father Asif Ali Zardari will have a role similar to the one Queen of England had in the United Kingdom.

While addressing the media after a meeting of the coalition government, the former foreign minister said that it would be the first time that a civilian would hold the presidential office twice.

He said that because of the 18th amendment, all the responsibilities of the president had been transferred to the parliament and national assembly, which was a “huge victory” in Pakistan’s political struggle.

“Now I tell him that this time around, your role would be that of the Queen of England in the United Kingdom,” he said.
