KARACHI
: Former Pakistan President and
Pakistan Peoples Party
Co-Chairman
Asif Ali Zardari has said he will contest for a
National Assembly
seat from his native town
Nawabshah
in the upcoming general elections, making his return to the electoral and parliamentary politics after a gap of 24 years.
The 62-year-old leader made the announcement during an Iftar party hosted by Sindh chief minister

He has been elected as Member of National Assembly from Karachi's area of Lyari in 1990, and from Nawabshah in 1993.

He also predicted that no party will hold the majority in the next assembly.
Zardari served as the 11th President of Pakistan from 2008 to 2013.
