Former US ambassador to Pakistan, Cameron Munter has said that Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has failed as party chief and as president.

Munter, while speaking at a press briefing, said that Nawaz Sharif has emerged as a strong leader and he had yet to decide whether he wanted to indulge in political wrangling or focus on economy, good governance and improving relations with India, reports The News.

Speaking on the occasion, Denial Markey, an expert on Pakistan affairs, said that the elections had further pushed the country into ethnic divide.

Both the speakers rejected a US newspaper report that the US had played any role in Sharif's victory against his political rival Imran Khan.
