Musharraf wins one-sided elections

Pakistan's General Pervez Musharraf won the presidential election Oct. 6, but the Supreme Court could still disqualify the military leader.

Just over half the eligible lawmakers turned out to vote in the election, with nearly all the opposition parties abstaining or boycotting to protest Musharraf's bid for a new five-year term while still army chief.

Musharraf, who has been president since 2001, won 671 votes, compared with just eight for his main rival — retired judge Wajihuddin Ahmad. (AP)
