Pakistan Elections an Example for Kenya

Musharaff and his party have decided to accept the election results and have avoided the sure bloodletting that would have occurred had they decided to challenge the election results.

The leader of the pro-Musharraf party, Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, a usually uncompromising politician, also said his party would be in the opposition. The spokesman for the party, Tarik Azeem Khan, said: “We readily accept our defeat unlike in the past when losing parties alleged rigging. We accept that we were beaten fair and square."
