Bilawal was a 19-year-old Oxford undergraduate when his family named him chairman of Pakistan's oldest dynastic party after his mother Benazir was assassinated in 2007, months after she returned to Pakistan from eight years in self-exile.

Earlier, there were reports of differences between Bilawal and his father Zardari in the media, suggesting that the two did not agree over party matters. Both the leaders, however, have rubbished the rumours, saying it is just a hype created by the media.
