A very calculated move by Zardari. He thought that for the current time he would become Chairman of the PPP as per Benazir's will, but what will happen after him? Bilawal Zardari could never have become chairman. Since Fatima Bhutto and Zulfiqar Bhutto (children of Murtaza Bhutto) would have made valid claims for throne. So he made his son the chairman and changed his name to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. Zardari would remain co-chairman and hence will be calling the shots.
Meanwhile Benazir's seat is now vacant. There will be no elections on that seat. There will be bye-elections on it and Zardari will run from that seat, make way into parliament and hence move towards the coveted PM slot.
A good move by Zardari.
