The campaign to elect a president of Pakistan to replace Pervez Musharraf formally began on Aug 27 amid warnings of a widening political divide. The former prime minister Nawaz Sharif withdrew the support of his Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party from the coalition government led by the Pakistan People's party. Analysts said Asif Ali Zardari, the widower of former premier Benazir Bhutto and the main PPP contender, was likely to secure enough votes to become president.
The president is chosen by an electoral college comprising members of the upper and lower houses of the federal parliament and the four provincial legislatures, with a total membership of 1,168. Who will be the new President of Pakistan? - Asif Zadari (widower of former President Bhutto) - Nawaz Sharif (former Prime Minister, ex-coalition) - Iftikar Chaudry (former Chief Justice) - General Ashfaq Kayani (Army Chief of Staff)
