ISLAMABAD: The declared wealth of Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi of PML-Q, who is likely to become deputy prime minister or senior minister in the PPP government, surpasses the value of individual assets of the heads of all the six other parliamentary parties in the National Assembly, his declaration filed with the Election Commission of Pakistan shows.
