Pakistan’s Historic Opportunity for Change

Husain Haqqani

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: Opinion polls show less than 20 per cent of Pakistanis now approve of President Musharraf, who has been described as an indispensable ally in the war against terrorism by some members of the Bush administration. The depth of opposition to Mr. Musharraf, coupled with his tendency to change or break rules to stay in power, has raised serious doubts about the likelihood of the election being free and fair.
