“Musharraf should be preparing a C-130 for Turkey,” Mr. Ahsan said, referring to Mr. Musharraf’s statements that he might retire to Turkey, where he spent part of his childhood.

Two politicians close to Mr. Musharraf have said in the past week that the president was well aware of the drift in the country against him and they suggested that he would not remain in office if the new government was in direct opposition to him. “He does not have the fire in the belly for another fight,” said one member of his party. He added that Mr. Musharraf was building a house for himself in Islamabad and would be ready soon to move.

The guy has no shame at all. He should resign and let the country get on with the rebuilding process. He has been resoundly routed at the polls and he still wants confrontation to prolong his hold on the kursi he illegally occupies in the first instance. That tell you how much he loves Pakistan. It is kursi, kursi and kursi with him. Nothing else.

Musharraf rules out resignation.

Is this the same Kursi he was supposed to be saving by rigging the elections. :)

Time to give credit where credit is due. President Musharaf has created history as the only Pakistani leader who gave it the Freeest and Fairest election in its history. :)

Re: Will Musharraf resign?

For years Pervez Musharraf was unequivocally the most powerful man in Pakistan but that no longer appears to be the case.

**Appearing on state television the night before the vote, President Musharraf called for the victors to be humble and conciliatory.
Critics say there was a touch of hypocrisy over this plea, since the former general almost always chose to treat his opponents with anything but those qualities when he was at the height of his powers. **
The president’s Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-i-Azam party (PML-Q) was all but wiped out in the polls. Now shorn of his uniform, the former military ruler is now in the weakest position he has been in for a decade.
He must now work with the two political parties whom he has always wanted to keep out of government.
There is the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), who have all but accused his regime of being involved in the assassination of their leader, Benazir Bhutto.
And then there is the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), headed by former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, whom Mr Musharraf overthrew in a coup and who is now back to haunt him.
The PPP want overwhelming control of the executive - that is, for the transfer of all powers to the prime minister. The party wants the president to be no more than a figurehead.
The PML-N wants nothing less than the removal of President Musharraf, by impeachment if necessary.
President Musharraf is unlikely to stand for either, and has indicated he will step down if he feels he is no longer needed.
**Given the current mood, that would be the best option for the former military ruler. After all, the president himself described the vote as “the mother of all elections”, which nearly everyone agreed would serve as a referendum on his rule.
Given the poll results, the next move seems to be summarised by what is arguably Pakistan’s most popular new slogan - “Go, Musharraf Go”. **

Re: Will Musharraf resign?

Musharraf should stay, to provide a strong opposition to this coalition of thugs. Else they would go unopposed, after they get a yes man as president.

KYA MAIN AZAAD HUN???

Re: Will Musharraf resign?

The thing is, if President Musharaf was an illegal President as some popel are saying, then why has Zardari asked the so-called illegal President to allow PPP to form the government as the largest party with coalition partners? :)

Re: Will Musharraf resign?

A MQM supporter talking about a coalition of ‘thugs’.

Who does he think he’s fooling? :cb:

Re: Will Musharraf resign?

LOL, such BS from you as usual.

Zardari and Sharif are planning to get rid of Mush, while Mush is the one begging Zardari to let him stay

Re: Will Musharraf resign?

Does this plan include getting rid of President Musharaf before, or after, they ask President Musharaf to allow PPP and its coalitions partners to form the government? If they are asking President Musharaf to allow them to form the govt. then are they saying that he is not an illegal President? :)

Re: Will Musharraf resign?

Mashallah all credit to King Musharraf that he has held free and fair elections. Otherwise no one could have ever proved that election 2002 were rigged.
