Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari will get married next year or in 2023, party's leader Manzoor Wassan has said.

Bilawal is the son of former president Asif Ali Zardari and slain premier Benazir Bhutto.

Wassan, who is known for his political predictions, also said: "While [Prime Minister] Imran Khan's future doesn't look good; Bilawal will get married expectedly in 2022 or 2023 after he will become the prime minister."

Commenting on it, Prime Minister Imran Khan’s aide Dr Shahbaz Gill said that the prediction means that Bilawal will not get married for the whole of his life because he has no chance to become prime minister.

Wassan said he did not think deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif would be returning to the country before March 2022.

This isn't the first time that the rumour of the Bhutto family scion's marriage is being spoken about.

In 2016, while responding to a reporter, Bilawal said, "The right candidate will first have to win over the hearts of my sisters. I have to take them into confidence. And winning over the hearts of my sisters is a very difficult task for any girl."
