• The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), founded by Benazir Bhutto’s father, earned more votes in the 1988 election than any other party. As leader of the PPP, Bhutto expected to become Pakistan’s prime minister—but President Ishaq Khan blocked her. She responded by forming a coalition between the PPP and another party that gave the PPP a clear majority in the National Assembly. Nevertheless, two long weeks passed before President Ishaq Khan recognized the victory and Bhutto became the youngest chief executive in the world.
• Benazir Bhutto emerged from her studies in the United States and Great Britain with a belief in democratic values. Soon after her return to Pakistan, though, she saw the harsher realities of Pakistani politics. Her father was overthrown in 1977, and during his two years in prison his family toured the country to speak on his behalf. Benazir traveled and spoke, too, despite her discomfort—but all their efforts were in vain. When her father was executed, Bhutto resolved to continue his work for a more democratic Pakistan.
