PM will be chief executive of next govt: Musharraf
* President says there will be no more delays in general elections
* Politics of agitation will not be allowed at any cost
LONDON: President Pervez Musharraf said on Saturday that the prime minister, being the chief executive of the country, would be empowered to run the affairs of the government arising out of the February 18 elections. Addressing a large gathering of Pakistanis at a local hotel here, he dismissed the impression that there will be any clash between the president and the prime minister. He said the law was very clear to this effect, and both organs of the State could perform their responsibilities independently, keeping the national interest supreme. In case a single party would not be able to form the government, a coalition government could come into power, the president said, adding that he will be prepared to facilitate the process. No more delays: Musharraf said the general elections would not be delayed any further, and took strong exception to the allegations of rigging. The president recounted the economic achievements of his government, pointing that all economic indicators are favourable. Concerning the recent atta (flour) crisis in the country, he said it was a result of smuggling and hoarding, adding that vested interests had tried to play it up for political gains. Musharraf said former chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry had been involved in corruption and nepotism and instead of facing the allegations before the Supreme Judicial Council, had turned a purely legal and constitutional issue into a political issue. No agitation: He said the politics of agitation would not be allowed at any cost. Concerning the rapid economic progress that took place in the country recently, he said there was a considerable headway in developing important sectors, including communication, information technology and water and power sectors. app

Can the next Prime Minister and President Musharraf get along? Who will step down first the President or Prime Minister? Who will be the next Prime Minister? Will the next government be formed by a deal? Will the next government be based on national consenses? Will it be effective in dealing with the insurgency? What will the role of Imran Khan, Qazi Hussain Ahmed and others not in Parliament be?
