By judicial decision l Former President Musharraf is out of the race in Pakistan


The former president of Pakistan for almost a decade (1999-2008), Pervez Musharraf, has been left out by court of the race for elections next May 11 in China, as reported by his lawyer. The only candidate of the four presented by former President coup and retired general, who had passed the first screening of the Electoral Commission , corresponding to the remote northern region of Chitral, has been rejected by a court of law. Musharraf does not meet the eyes of the electoral and judicial authorities of the country, the criteria required by the state Constitution to candidates for public office, among which is "being shrewd, straight, not wasteful and honest"The courts have considered in particular its role in the decree a state of emergency and the suspension of constitutional order in 2007, a decision that General coup is also being tried in the Supreme Court of the country. According to local daily 'Dawn', the judges have accepted that this decision was the Cabinet at the time, but have considered that Musharraf was the leading architect of the institutional shift as it was Prime Minister. Musharraf, became ruler of the country after a coup that brought him to power in the fall of 1999 and resigned in the summer of 2008. The former president returned to Pakistan three weeks ago to participate in the upcoming elections to be held nationwide on May 11, after an exile of four years that he won. He ran into four districts: the capital, the eastern city of Kasur (bordering India), Karachi and the southern Chitral. The first screening of the Electoral Commission lay the first three options and the courts have upheld that decision despite the appeals filed by Musharraf, who also saw his only bid alive, Chitral, fell today at the hands of the judges. The return of former Pakistan president unleashed a cascade of theories about the hidden reasons for the return of a character that did not give local analysts, even before his disqualification, no option to have a role in the May elections. Some experts linked to the next relay in the dome of the Army , to be held this year, in which the former head of the Armed Forces may favor one of the sectors that are struggling to control the country's most powerful institution Asia.
