Source A

Despite allegations of vote rigging against the PPP, and the use of the ID
card rule to keep its less well-organized and relatively less well-off
supporters from voting, Bhutto won the election by a margin of over 8%,
thus managing to defeat the nine-party alliance of IJI. The MQM was pivotal
in the formation of central government, as the PPP had failed to win a
majority of seats. In light of the election results, acting President Ghulam
Ishaq Khan invited the PPP to form a government. The PPP formed the
government, making alliances with small parties and independent groups.
On 4 December 1988, Bhutto was elected as the first female Prime Minister
of a Muslim country. The new Cabinet, headed by Bhutto was subsequently
announced.
