President Pervez Musharraf cannot afford to hold a fair and free election on February 18 in Pakistan. That is why rigging in the forthcoming election is the virtual writing on the wall.
In a recent interview, Musharraf claimed that Pakistan would have the Mother of all Elections on February 18, but many observers think it will be the mother of all poll riggings. Why will Musharraf rig the elections in spite of his tall claims of free and fair polls? Because Musharraf will not survive if the Pakistan People's Party and Pakistan Muslim League of Nawaz Sharif get two third majority in the next National Assembly.
