Asif Ali Zardari, Pakistan People's Party | September 4, 2008
Asif Ali Zardari is committed to a democratic, moderate and progressive Pakistan. ++ If elected president, he promises to return the constitutional balance the powers of the presidency that were altered by Zia ul-Haq and Musharraf, to reconstruct an independent judiciary, and to confront and c ontain terrorism. ++ Dictatorial forces are trying to destabilize the new democratic government, but success for the PPP on Saturday will strengthen Pakistan's viability as a nation “to defeat the terrorist threat and address the people's needs.”
