Same will also happen this time if its an institutional tradition. Do you think that Gen Kayani wouldn't know the next COAS when the final candidates list (3 Most suitable contenders) forwarded to PM is prepared by COAS?
Gen Musharraf had hand picked Gen Kayani to succeed his position. The decision was taken much earlier and the transition took its natural course. In this case Gen Kayani does not necessarily know who is the next COAS. That decision lies with Nawaz Sharif who idiotically is waiting for the actual expiry date of the current COAS. Gene Kayani may hand over the cane to whoever is the next COAS on the given day and during the ceremony, but he most certainly will not be in a position to ensure the smooth transition phase because he will be in his CV's sipping the good stuff!
