Benazir Bhutto - Politician of Pakistan



Benazir Bhutto (1953-2007) was a Pakistani politician who served as the Prime Minister of Pakistan twice, first from 1988 to 1990 and again from 1993 to 1996. She was the first woman to be elected as the head of government of a Muslim-majority country.


Bhutto was born into a prominent political family in Karachi, Pakistan. Her father, ZulfiQar Ali Bhutto, was the founder of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and served as the Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1971 to 1977. However, he was overthrown in a military coup and later executed in 1979.


Following her father's death, Bhutto became the leader of the PPP and a prominent opposition figure. She was imprisoned several times and went into exile for several years. She returned to Pakistan in 1986 and led the PPP to victory in the 1988 general elections, becoming the first woman to be elected as the Prime Minister of Pakistan.


During her time in office, Bhutto worked to modernize the economy and improve the status of women in Pakistan. However, her government was also plagued by allegations of corruption and she was dismissed from office in 1990 on charges of corruption.


Bhutto was re-elected as Prime Minister in 1993, but her government again faced allegations of corruption and was dismissed in 1996. She went into self-imposed exile again and returned to Pakistan in 2007 to participate in the general elections. However, she was assassinated in a suicide bombing while campaigning in Rawalpindi on December 27, 2007. Her death was widely mourned in Pakistan and around the world.
