Pervez Musharraf

Pervez Musharraf (Urdu: پرويز مشرف) (IPA: /ˈpəɹ.vɛz muˈʃɑɹ.əf/[1]) (born August 11, 1943) is the current President of Pakistan, and former[2] Chief of Army Staff of the Pakistan Army. He came to power in 1999 by effecting a military coup d'état and has suspended the constitution of Pakistan twice; since then, after announcing his intention to combat extremists, Western countries (including the United States and the United Kingdom) have switched from sanctions to active support through military and monetary aid. He took power on October 12, 1999, ousting Nawaz Sharif, the elected Prime Minister, dismissed the national and provincial legislative assemblies, assumed the title of Chief Executive and became Pakistan's de facto head of government, thereby becoming the fourth Army chief of Pakistan to have assumed executive control. Later in 2001, Musharraf appointed himself to the office of President of Pakistan.

On November 3, 2007, only days before a bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan was to decide on a petition challenging the constitutional validity of his re-election as president in the controversial October 2007 elections, he, as Chief of Army Staff, suspended the constitution, jailed several justices and lawyers of the supreme court including Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, ordered the arrest of political dissidents and human rights activists, and shut down all private television channels.[3] On November 3, 2007, Musharraf declared a state of emergency in Pakistan which lasted until December 15, 2007. During this time, the constitution of the country was suspended.[4][5]

On November 24, 2007, the Pakistan Election Commission confirmed his re-election as President.[6]

As of February 18, 2008, news reports indicate that Musharraf's supporting party, the Pakistan Muslim League - Quaid, and its coalition allies have been badly defeated in Parliamentary elections. The ruling party of Pakistan's Pervez Musharraf admitted defeat in parliamentary elections February 19, 2008, and one senior opposition leader said it was now time for the president to step down.[7] February 20, 2008, one day after PML(Q) was trounced in parliamentary elections, Musharraf said he intended to remain in office and work with the new government.[8]
