Zarar Khan of The Associated Press has just reported that Benazir Bhutto's 19 year old son Bilawal and her husband Asif Zardari have officially been chosen to succeed her.

Bilawal is a student at Oxford while his 51 year old father is the former environmental minister of Pakistan. Young Bilawal made the following statement:

"The party's long struggle for democracy will continue with renewed vigor. My mother always said democracy is the best revenge."

He was greeted by cheers of "Bilawal, move ahead. We are with you."

Khan also reported that the Pakistan People's Party will contest the upcoming elections, effectively "ending the threat of a wholesale boycott by Pakistan's political opposition as the key U.S.-ally struggles to transition to full democracy after years of military rule."
