ISLAMABAD: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will arrive in the federal capital on Monday and stay here for some days to streamline party affairs.

"Bilawal Bhutto will be in Islamabad on Monday and will hold meetings with members of the PPP Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa," the party's spokesman Senator Farhatullah Babar told Dawn on Friday.

The PPP chief had said on August 12 that he would now lead the party from the front. The announcement came after his father Asif Ali Zardari, Co-Chairman of the PPP, went abroad last month soon after Rangers, the National Accountability Bureau and the Federal Investigation Agency launched an operation against politicians and official of the Sindh administrations for alleged corruption.

The PPP chief said recently, "I want to tell those living in fool's paradise that the PPP is not finished, neither will it be finished. It will rather flourish because after Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and his daughter Benazir Bhutto, I will now lead it by hoisting its flag."

Senator Babar said Mr Bilawal would stay in Islamabad for four to five days and hold meetings for reorganisation of the PPP in Punjab and in KP where the party suffered humiliating defeat in the 2013 general elections.
