Asif Ali Zardari will contest the post for the Pakistan People's Party on September 6. He was nominated by the PPP on Friday, but said he needed a day to consider the offer. Meanwhile, the leader of the junior party in the governing coalition has demanded key concessions in return for backing Zardari. Nawaz Sharif wants his partners to agree to slash the powers of the Presidency and reinstate all judges sacked last year by former President Pervez Musharraf. The office of the President was made vacant last Monday, when Musharraf bowed to pressure to stand down after nine years in power.
