Re: Benazir says Musharraf's present Presidential term expires on Dec 31 2008 - not 2
Well, it is all excuses. Referendum happened in 2002, not 2004. Assemblies came to existence at the end of 2002 after referendum and endorsed Musharraf as President in October 2002. Thus, presidential election is due in 2007 (between mid Sept 2007 and mid Nov 2007).
If opposition thinks that next election would be rigged, then why they worry about presidential election happening before or after next election?
They should be certain that if election would be rigged, they would have lesser seats in Assembly after next election then what they have now.
Fact is that, most likely they would lose the next election badly and thus making excuses that next election would be rigged. As for presidential election, they are thinking that to pressurise President, so that they get some deal with President before next election.
