Nisar Ali Khan said keeping in view the record of last six months, his party had not much expectation from President-elect Asif Ali Zardari, but added PML-N conceded his win as election was held in democratic manner. He offered best wishes for newly elected President Zardari also. "Parliament's sovereignty according to 1973 constitution and charter of democracy (CoD) could change the scenario completely for Zardari," he noted.
