| Zulfikar Ali Bhutto formed the Pakistan People’s Party in 1967 and became the country’s president in 1971. His presidency, which followed the secession of Bangladesh and the resulting war with India, is credited with restoring relative stability to Pakistan. Bhutto became prime minister in 1973 under a new constitution, but his political fortunes changed in the face of opposition and regional violence in Pakistan. He was overthrown four years later, charged with the death of a political opponent, found guilty, and hanged in 1979. |
