ISLAMABAD, March 25: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Tuesday evening left for Dubai after staying in the capital for five days.

PPP spokesman Farhatullah Babar told Dawn that he would go to Oxford from Dubai to resume his studies.

The 19-year-old leader had arrived here on March 20 and the PPP had announced that he would nominate the party’s candidate for the office of the prime minister.

However, the party made the announcement through a statement from its co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari.
