Pakistan Peoples Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has announced that he will contest elections from his mothers constituency Larkana and aims to become the prime minister of Pakistan in 2018, according to media reports on Saturday.

Bilawal, the only son of assassinated former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto, has said earlier he will contest by-elections or general elections - whichever come first.

Bilawal targeted Nawaz Sharif, saying that the prime minister did not know how to rule the country. The time will come when PPPs flag will hoist on houses of all chief ministers, the prime minister and the president of Pakistan.

With your support, I will become Pakistans prime minister in 2018, the 28-year-old said.
