PAKISTAN

Asif Ali Zardari has won Pakistan's presidential elections in yet another dramatic turning point in the life of one of Pakistan's most controversial figures.

Mr Zardari was thrust into the centre stage of current political developments when his wife, the charismatic former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in December.

Since then he has led her Pakistan People's Party (PPP) through successful general elections and worked with former political enemies to force President Pervez Musharraf to resign.

And yet before Ms Bhutto's death, Mr Zardari's public image was so bad that the PPP kept him out of the public eye as much as possible during the campaigning for February's elections.
