Sharif in for elections, but not under Musharrif by Romana Schlesingerova

The former Pakistanian Prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who had returned back from his seven years in exile, signed up as the candidate for the next parliamentary elections today, according to the AFP agency. However, Sharif declared, that in the case of his victory, he will not accept working under the present president Pervez Musharraf. There is no blaming for his statement. It would be impossible to forget, that it was Musharraf alone, who had discharged him during the military coup in 1999 and convicted him to the life sentence. "I have come to save this country," he said standing on top of a radio cab desk in the arrivals hall. "I have come to fulfill the responsibility that is given me," he told the crowd. But few could hear him, so loud was the chanting and cheering from supporters. "Long live! Long live! Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif!" they shouted. Sharif came back with a clear vision and immediately presented his ideas on the series of press conferences and to the media as well. He announced the incompatibility with Musharraf`s thoughts and acclaimed that his political party will never cooperate together with the president. Sharif disbelieves the preparing elections, because of martial law, declared November 3rd. He would change his mind, only if the constitution would be reconditioned. Another candidate signed up for the elections on Monday. Benazzir Bhuto, the other former Prime minister, who just recently returned to the country, after negotiating the division of the political power in the country. It can be Bhuto, who will be probably willing to ally with Musharraf. Nawaz Sharif can easily stay out of the game.
