Hassan Nisar Election is Khoon Kharaba in Pakistan
Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan's former military leader, has been cleared to run for a seat in the upcoming general parliamentary election, poll officials say. The approval came from officials in the far northern constituency of Chitral on Sunday, despite numerous legal challenges to his candidacy. Musharraf, who ruled Pakistan for nine years after seizing power in a bloodless coup in 1999, returned to Pakistan from self-imposed exile on March 24, vowing to run for the May 11 poll in four constituencies. He remains a hugely controversial figure nearly five years after he resigned in the face of impeachment proceedings and his All-Pakistan Muslim League party is not thought to be a serious contender for power at the polls.
