Court puts Musharraf's future on ice

Pakistan's Supreme Court kept the fate of President Pervez Musharraf's re-election bid in its hands by deciding a vote could go ahead on Saturday, but a winner cannot be declared until it rules if he was eligible to stand.

General Musharraf is sure to win the vote in parliament and the country's four provincial assemblies.

But the court's decision to keep open a possibility of disqualification could weaken his position and deepen a sense of mounting uncertainty in nuclear-armed Pakistan.

Delivering the ruling, judge Javed Iqbal said the court wanted more time to consider the merits of last-gasp opposition challenges to Musharraf running while still army chief.

Rivals were at least relieved that Musharraf won't be awarded victory on Saturday, even though they wanted the vote postponed.

"It is a partial relief for us. Today's order is the first step toward our victory," said Hamid Khan, a lawyer for Wajihuddin Ahmed, a retired judge running against Musharraf.

Independent analysts said the situation was finely balanced.

"General Musharraf has got procedural approval by the court but he has not yet been given full legitimacy. Uncertainty will continue until decision is given," said Talat Masood, a retired general turned analyst.

The court has scheduled the next hearing for October 17.

The case is being heard by a bench of 10 judges, who are believed to be less receptive to the government than a bench that dismissed challenges to Musharraf's candidacy a week earlier.

Musharraf's current term of office is due to end on November 15, and he has vowed to quit the army if elected and be sworn in as a civilian leader eight years after taking power.

After negotiations with self-exiled opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, Musharraf appeared on the brink of an accord with a potential ally who could shore up his position after a general election due by mid-January.

Former prime minister Bhutto plans to end more than eight years of self-exile on October 18, and lead her Pakistan People's Party in the election.

Terms were still being finalized between two leaders who have hardly had a good word to say about each other in the past decade, but have long been regarded as natural allies against militancy and the growing influence of religious conservatives.

It was unclear how the Supreme Court ruling on Friday might affect the incipient deal with Bhutto. Analysts had expected Bhutto to enter a possible power-sharing arrangement with Musharraf after the general election.

In television interviews this week, Musharraf has spoken of his desire to oversee Pakistan's transition back to civilian rule, and ensure the general election is free and fair.
