Jiyo President General Pervez Musharraf!

Re: Jiyo President General Pervez Musharraf!

They are all welcome, what is wrong with that? If they have enough support amongst elected members, I believe they should have the right. I won’t be shouting on roads and shedding crocodile tears with my one man tanga party if they have majority of elected members behind them. I won’t cry if my support is vegetable that seems a lot outside hot pan and fizzle out into untraceable green pea when in hot pan.
President won Presidential election fair and square without support from any corrupts of the past. Those who gave vote to him for Presidency voted using their own free will without any pressure and that includes members from his own party, allies, as well as members from opposition parties. Though requirement was not for more than 50 percent votes, President took more than 50 percent votes from each of 3 Provisional Assembles, from Senate, as well as from National Assembly. He got around 25 percent vote from lone assembly (NWFP) that did not gave him over 50 percent vote, and the result is that NWFP assembly is getting torn apart because of that (shows that members did not vote for Musharraf under duress from their party leaders, especially JI leader Qazi).

Musharraf needed 4 effective votes to win the election because his closest opponent got less than 4 effective votes. But instead of 4 effective votes, President got 386 effective votes or 55 percent of total possible 702 effective votes (President got 671 of 1170 total possible voter’s votes or 57.35 percent).

These votes came not because of any opposition party supporting President as none of opposition party gave votes to President. Some boycotted the election, some resigned, and some had no courage to come and vote. If President had received less than 50 percent of the vote than those who resigned, boycotted or hid their faces could have said that if they were allowed, or that if they wanted, President would have lost the election, but once President got more than 50 percent of the available votes, there is no excuse left, as whatever they had done would have made no difference.

I think that it is democracy that once someone or their party loses election, they should not become cry baby. They should start appreciating the result, congratulate the winner, do some self-assessments and hope for better result next time. Election of President would come again in 5 years time, so there should not be disappointment for losers, as losers should show sportsmanship and prepare for next election with dignity. People should learn to lose with dignity and win with grace. President has won the election and showing grace, now it is time for opposition to learn to lose with dignity. :smiley:

Long live President, his tolerance, his vision, his leadership, and his upholding the constitution of the country.:dhimpak:

Jiyo Musharraf :jhanda:
