Bilawal was appointed chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party on 30 December 2007. His father, Asif Ali Zardari, had been named the new chairman in Benazir Bhutto's will, but he asked for his son to be appointed instead. Asif will be co-chairman. In the same press conference Asif also announced that Bilawal would henceforth use the name "Bilawal Bhutto Zardari", whereas he was previously known as "Bilawal Zardari".
Future
Bilawal intends to complete his studies at Oxford before returning to lead the party full-time. It had been estimated that Bilawal's security at Oxford will cost at least one million pounds each year. He returned to Pakistan in September 2008 to witness his father sworn in as President of Pakistan.
