Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari  embarked on a two-day visit to Dubai on Saturday amidst reports that the trip was aimed at persuading his son, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, to return to the country and lead the Pakistan People's Party's election campaign.

The 24-year-old Bilawal had left for Dubai over a week ago after a tiff with his father over the affairs of the PPP. A source in the PPP told PTI that Zardari had gone to Dubai on a "private visit" and the main purpose of his trip was to placate Bilawal.

"The PPP cannot afford to go into the May 11 polls without Bilawal. Many in the PPP believe that the son of the late Benazir Bhutto alone can mobilise voters in favour of the party," the source said.
