The President of Pakistan Mr. Pervez Musharraf has once again assured that elections will be held in the country on 18th February 2008 as announced by the Election Commission of Pakistan. He was asked several questions regarding the imminent elections during his visit to European Union countries. He rejected the propaganda done by some political parties in Pakistan that the government has made arrangements to rig the coming elections.

Mr. Pervez Musharraf explained the steps which have been taken to remove the 'bugs' from the election process and gave assurance that the elections would be free, fair and above all peaceful.

I am sure that Mr. Musharraf will once again come true to his words and that free, fair and peaceful elections will be held according the announced schedule. Pakistan is passing through difficult times and it is very necessary to ensure stability in the country that there is a smooth transfer of power to the new government. A smooth transfer of power will end the prevailing uncertainty and confusion.
