Some believe that ZAB’s undue haste to become the prime minister supported by the fickle minded and fumbling army chief, contributed to the breakaway of East Pakistan. He replaced General Mohamed Yahya Khan as the president of Pakistan and later became prime minister. Benazir Bhutto (fondly known as BB) became the first female prime minister of Pakistan from 1988 to 1990 and again from 1993 to 1996. In 1990 he was elected as prime minister on the Islami Jamhoori Ittehad (IJI) platform and dismissed by the President after three years. We now have a new Oxford educated ex cricketer prime minister.
