ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN LEGISLATIVE ELECTION OF 10 OCTOBER 2002 ==================================================================== Source: Pakistan Electoral Commission website General Pervez Musharraf has ruled Pakistan since a coup in October 1999. Following changes to the constitution which greatly expand the power of the President, and a referendum which agreed to these changes, a Parliament is now being elected. It remains to be seen whether Pakistan will now function as a genuine democracy. I reproduce here a story from Agence France Presse: European Union observers blasted Pakistan's Election Commission for its failure to curb state interference in the general elections, which "cast serious doubt" over the body's independence. "The failure of the Election Commission of Pakistan to protect an area within its mandate from interference by the state authorities casts serious doubts over the Election Commission of Pakistan's independence," a statement read out at a news conference said today. The EU Election Observer Mission (EUOM) "has solid evidence to believe that public authorities from local administration up to senior levels of governance were actively involved in partisan electioneering," EU chief observer John Cushnahan said. "This appeared to be a pattern throughout the country," he added.
