Possibilities of political scene in Pakistan

[SSGPA1]

Here are some possibilities:

Zardari resigns due to public and PA pressure.

P1: NS is cleared by SC and he becomes the President with support from all parties and PA.

Challenges to NS: If he becomes the President then he will have to repeal the 17th amendment which means NS will be relinquishing his powers. If he keeps 17th alive then he will lose his popularity among masses and other political parties will make him another Zardari. NS will not be able to stop drones and he will lose support from right wings as he will be supporting WOT. This is more like a ploy to shorten his political career. Other challenges are minor in comparison to this challenge.

It will be interesting to see how NS dodges the bullet if he is asked to become the President.

P2: NS gets Javed Hashmi elected the President, repeal 17th and goes for assembly seat (vacated by one of his members). Final price will be the PM post.

Challenges to NS: Current PM and PPPP will not allow this to happen, if PA and US support NS only then NS can become the PM. Taliban energy crisis and economic stability will be huge challenges.
NS will not be able to stop drones and he will lose support from right wings as he will be supporting WOT. Energy crisis will also be a challenge. If US are bringing him then they will also ensure support from parties like MQM, ANP and PML.

Nawaz Sharif will be a tool in the hands of US and will be highly obliged. Kashmir, Nuclear Program, relationship with China and Iran will be at stake.

P3: Establishment is able to gather support from PPPP, MQM, ANP and PML for Gen. Musharraf to become the President of Pakistan.

Challenges to Musharraf: US govt., US drones, energy crisis, PML-N, Taliban and economic stability.

US drones may decrease
PML-N will be challenged by Musharraf supporting parties.
Energy crisis will improve due to the fact that Musharraf was in talks with Koreans for the alternate energy. Musharraf was also in full swing to make Kalabagh dam and hopefully he will be able to get all parties’ support on the issue.

Economy was better under Musharraf so on his proven track record, I can hope that economy will also improve.

In the very first part you forget that Zardari came to power via Musharraf and America's blessing.

nawaz sharif cannot come to power unless there are midterm polls. the only way he can become PM is if he manages to break PPP which at this point doesnt look possible.
and i dont want mid term poll or another marshal law. this gov should complete her 5 yr period. Nawaz sharif will not be any better than Zardari at this point.

Nawaz Sharif has mentioned he will wait five years, Zardari I doubt the man would budge and I think that General Kayani is not going to hold a coup.

So I think that the best any Pakistani can do is tell people to vote more carefully and disqualify any ballot that may be rigged.

I hope that Parliament remains intact for five years. It is the President's office I am talking about.

Musharraf is out of the game.US very well know Musharraf is ISI/Army man and will look for Pakistan's National Interest first therefore US will never ever let him win elections.

Jawed Hashmi is PML(N)'s current Presidential candidate and I don't think that is changing anytime soon so how will NS come to power via presidency is beyond me.
