LARKANA: Bilawal Champions Youth and Climate Change in Bid for Pakistan’s Leadership. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, at 35, is vying to become Pakistan’s youngest prime minister, focusing on youth appeal and ambitious climate change initiatives. As the country approaches general elections on Feb. 8, the former foreign minister emphasizes the need for new ideas and leadership to address political and economic instability.

Speaking from his hometown in the southern province of Sindh, Bhutto Zardari highlights the importance of allowing the youth to make decisions that will shape their future. With about two-thirds of Pakistan’s 241 million population under 30, he positions himself as a leader who can connect with the younger generation.

Despite being the scion of a family that has produced two prime ministers, Bhutto Zardari represents a departure from the older leadership that has dominated Pakistani politics. His Oxford education and relative youth set him apart from contenders like Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan.
