I seek to lead a democratic Pakistan which is free from the yoke of military dictatorship and that will cease to be a haven, the very petri dish of international terrorism.

I am chairman of the Pakistan People's Party.

I am constitutionally competent to contest the elections.

I have won elections and I have lost elections.

I've been in a lot of elections.

I want to be the first Pakistani, like some of our counterparts in India, to really go out and show that we Pakistanis can even be successful outside Pakistan.

Everybody is looking for an election where they can do something and participate.

One is actually the democracy here, you know, people are, people assume that this election means that there is democracy in Pakistan. There is no democracy.

I want to win and I want to be in office.
