Asif Ali Zardari becomes the President of Pakistan today after winning the presidential election. He secured 479 votes out of 702. His opponents, Retired Chief Justice Saeed-uz-Zaman Siddiqui received 153 elctoral votes and Senator Mushahid Hussein received 43. Asif’s victory in three provinces is overwhelming, especially in Sindh where his opposing candidates couldn’t get a single vote. Only in Punjab Assembly Saeed-uz-Zaman Siddiqi is able to get more votes than Asif.

The vote by the two houses of parliament and four provincial assemblies forms the 1,170-member, but 702-vote, electoral college. According to a Dawn update:

‘Asif Ali Zardari secured 281 votes out of the 426 valid votes polled in the parliament,’ chief election commissioner Qazi Mohammad Farooq said. He has secured 458 out of 702 electoral college votes, according to partial Election Commission results.

    What was the need for having Hamid Karzai as the Chief Guest on the swearing-in ceremony at the President House? Hamid Karzai and his Indian-influenced governemt are currently instrumental in creating trouble in Balochistan, theny aid and abet US Forces raid in which innocent civilians and Pakistan soldiers are killed and Hamid Karzai utilizes every opportunity to degrade Pakistan to hide his own Government’s shortcomings and ills.

    And yet our newly elected ”allegedly corrupt” President chooses to smile, rub shoulders and do formal press conferences with such a rascal?
