Asif Ali Zardari, widower of former premier Benazir Bhutto, has said he will be an advisory figure like Congress president Sonia Gandhi, but without a seat in parliament, if his Pakistan People’s Party is voted to power in the next month's elections.“If our party wins a majority in next month's elections, I will not take a Cabinet post but will act like Sonia Gandhi, as an advisory figure without a seat in Parliament,” the PPP leader, who was made the party's co-chairman following the assassination of his wife, said in an interview published in The Sunday Times.At the same time, he expressed his apprehensions about the election being held at all. “We don't have any faith that there will be elections. They might make another huge incident. Anyone could be a target,” he said. The elections which were earlier scheduled for January 8 were put off till February 18 following Bhutto's assassination on December 27 and the ensuing violence that left scores of people dead.Zardari said the night before Benazir Bhutto was assassinated he had begged his wife on the phone to stop holding election rallies and let him take her place.“I always used to tell her that as long as the queen bee is alive we workers will always live. but I guess it wasn’t so.,” Zardari said.That telephone call was to be the couple's last conversation.
