__Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani __

**-** __Basic Information __

o Current City: Multan, Pakistan o Hometown: Multan, Pakistan o Sex: Male o Birthday: Jue 9, 1952 o Political Views: N/A (Belongs to the Pakistan Peoples Party) o Religious Views: N/A (Practices Islam ) o Bio: My Name is Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani. I am married with 5 children and am 58 years old. I am the current prime minister of Pakistan and come from an important spiritual and land owning family. My whole family has contributed to the government and I started my political career in 1978. I was the first person to be elected the district chairman of Multan. My career only continued and my positions became stronger until I was elected the speaker of the national assembly in 1993. I am well noted for my decision to Leave the Muslim League and join the Pakistan Peoples Party due to a falling out with the prime minister at the time. After I joined the PPP there were some problems and I refused to follow the policies of the Musharraf regime. In 2001 I was sent to prison for over five years for fabricated stories about me being corrupt and abusing power. The PPP was just trying to have me leave and set an example for future generations to follow their command. While in jail I wrote my book “Reflections from Yosuf’s Well” describing my experience with leaving the Muslim League. I was finally released from jail in October of 2006. In March of 2008 I was nominated by the PPP for prime minister. I won the elections by a good amount and assumed my post on just a few days later. I soon announced my reforms for my first 100 days in office. I went right to work to make changes, but unfortunately one of my first speeches was a disaster. Things have been going well but I did face an assassination attempt in September of 2008. I feel secure with my position and it has only been strengthened since the political crisis in 2009.  o Favorite Quotations: " Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught." ~J.C. Watts
