err....18th feb votes were not cast against musharraf or his party. they were cast in sympathy of ppp. at that time, the sentiment in the country was such that people voted for ppp out of sympathy.....and zardari made a statement saying that if ppp didnt win, they would launch nationwide agitation, which in plain words means, their hired thugs would go on a carnage across the country.
You honestly think the people would vote for the PML[Q Musharraf/SHujaat lota league]?
