The Pakistani Spectator

100 senators, 342 members of National Assembly, 371 members of Punjab Assembly, 168 members of Sindh Assembly, 124 members of NWFP Assembly, and 65 members of Balochistan Assembly would decide as who would be the next President of Pakistan by choosing one among the three candidates; Justice of PML-N, Asif of PPP, and Mushahid of PML-Q.

The polling would be done through secret ballot and start at 8 in morning and go without any halt up to 3 pm. Justice (R) Saeeduzzaman Siddiqui and Mushahid Hussain Syed are just their for their own respective purposes and the decision has already been taken for Zardari to be the next president of Pakistan. Justice (R) Saeeduzzaman Siddiqui is just there to cut the votes of PPP and not to allow them complete majority and keep the political room for the PML-N, and Mushahid Hussain Syed is there to keep the PML-Q alive and to earn some assets to cash in on in the future.

Now as the internal and external forces have decided to give Zardari a chance and we Pakistanis don’t have any say, so why not accept this fate with an open heart, and see what Zardari actually does. Let’s forget the Mr. 10 pecent, Mr. 100 percent, horses with expensive food, Surrey Palace, 100 million dollar corruption, Swiss accounts, other assets, Murtaza Bhutto murder, and prevarication from the written and verbal agreements, and not showing any seriousness in apprehending the assassins of Benazir Bhutto, and then enjoying the NRO of Musharraf.

Let’s accept Asif Ali Zardari’s presidential candidature and confirmed election.
