Musharraf sweeps vote
In the two houses of parliament, Musharraf won 252 of 257 votes cast. His closest rival, Wajihuddin Ahmed, won two votes, while three votes were rejected, Chief Election Commissioner Qazi Muhammad Farooq told the National Assembly.
Musharraf had also won most votes cast in three of the four provincial assemblies, officials said. Counting was still going on in the fourth.

^^ no surprise there
Re: Musharraf Wins Pakistan Presidential vote
President Mubarak of Egypt would be proud of musharraf. He is the only other president in the world who polls 99.9% of the popular vote. Hats off to both of them.
Re: Musharraf Wins Pakistan Presidential vote
This so called "election" will not bring him any legitimacy whatsoever.
Re: Musharraf Wins Pakistan Presidential vote
Well lets see it at this way.
There was no opposition, PPP didn’t cast their votes. Other opposition parties resigned mostly or abstained. So how come Wajahudin still got two votes? 
Re: Musharraf Wins Pakistan Presidential vote
Alhamdulilallah.
Good to see he had people stand against him, rather than a dictatorship.
God Bless President Musharaf. God Bless Pakistan. God Bless the **Free Judiciary that has allowed him to stand in Uniform from these assemblies.

.............So how come Wajahudin still got two votes?
Quick answer-----secret admirer!
At least 2 people felt that this poor chap ought to get at least something. If it was a general election, Justice Ret. Din would have his "zamanat zabt" [trans: lose his 2 cents]

Musharraf ‘wins presidency vote’](BBC NEWS | South Asia | Musharraf wins presidential vote)
Gen Pervez Musharraf has won a vote to be re-elected Pakistan’s president, officials say, even though it is unclear if his candidacy was legal.
He won all but five of the votes cast in parliament’s two houses and swept the ballots in the four provincial assemblies, official results showed.
Opposition MPs abstained or boycotted the vote, calling it unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court says no winner can be declared until it decides whether Gen Musharraf can stand while army chief.
‘Flouted’
**Gen Musharraf’s supporters dominate the assemblies, thanks to elections five years ago which were widely condemned as rigged. **
As expected, he won by a landslide.
Chief Election Commissioner Qazi Muhammad Farooq told the National Assembly that Gen Musharraf had won 252 of 257 votes cast in the upper and lower houses.
He said his nearest rival, Wajihuddin Ahmed, had won just two votes. Three votes had been rejected.
There was a similar picture in the assemblies in the provinces of Punjab, Sindh, North West Frontier and Balochistan.
Ruling party members claimed victory even before counting had begun, calling it a step on the way to “full democracy”.
The opposition said the constitution had been flouted.
“We will not accept him as president… He is a person who has hardly any respect for the rule of law,” Sadique ul-Farooq, a leader of the party of exiled former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif told the Associated Press news agency. Security was tight in cities across Pakistan, after opposition parties and lawyers’ groups called for protests.
In Peshawar in the north-west police fired tear gas at lawyers protesting near the provincial assembly building.
‘Just a formality’
Pakistan has been engulfed in political upheaval in recent months, at the same time as the security forces have suffered a series of blows from pro-Taleban militants opposed to Gen Musharraf’s support for the US-led “war on terror”.
Gen Musharraf will step down as army chief, but only if he is re-elected, his lawyers have said.
But a ruling by the Supreme Court on Friday throws the presidential election into confusion.
It means that even though Gen Musharraf has the most votes he cannot be declared winner until the court has decided if he was a valid candidate in the first place.
The judges said they would not make a final decision before 17 October, which coincides with the day Ms Bhutto says she will leave London to return from years of self-imposed exile.
A deal announced on Friday with former PM Benazir Bhutto meant members of her Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) did not join Saturday’s opposition boycott, but abstained from voting.
Under the deal, Gen Musharraf dropped corruption charges against Ms Bhutto - a stride towards an expected power-sharing arrangement.
General elections are due to be held by mid-January.
Re: Musharraf Wins Pakistan Presidential vote
Our politics is so rotten. At least PPP should have come in and voted for their candidate FAhim. Or may be PPP was worried that many of its members would cross the line and vote for Prez. Musharraf.
Talk about PPP horses, the horse trade, and making lots of hey.
