		Pakistan is bordered on the west by Iran, on the north and northwest by Afghanistan, on the northeast by China, on the east and southeast by India, and on the south by the Arabian Sea.

	Pakistan Elections 2002: Those who dare win!
		If there is a low turnout in the elections and the results are similar to those of the referendum, the whole exercise of a tame election and controlled democracy could backfire on the regime.
		The main reason why those elections were relatively fair was that they were held in the aftermath of the 1968-69 revolution and the PPP entered the electoral foray with a socialist programme and manifesto.

	Middle East Report Online: Elections in Pakistan: Turning Tragedy Into Farce, by Shahnaz Rouse
		Since the elections, leaders in the MMA have made headlines in the West by pledging to "implement an Islamic system" in Pakistan and demanding that US soldiers pursuing Taliban and al-Qaeda militants in the northwest province leave the country.
		Ostensibly, the NRB was set up to "guide" Pakistan back to "democracy." But it was clear by 2000 that the model of democracy envisioned by the Musharraf regime was limited.
		Though the election results are a repudiation of Musharraf, in the short term, the constitutional amendments clearly continue military interference in politics.

		First, after these elections Musharraf is able to legitimize his government, which is actually a government that took power after a military coup in October 1999 He has legitimized the result of that coup, and the referendum that followed in April 2002, and has gotten away with it.
		Second, he has created a new political formation in Pakistan, a structure that is loyal to him and dependent on the military, with less autonomy and less capacity to represent any interests other than the military.
		Thatâs because Pakistan was a centralized country with its center in West Pakistan, in the Punjab, that treated East Pakistan as a colony.

	Pakistan Elections - Musharraf - Worldpress.org
		At this juncture, the military itself has been subjected to such intense criticism, and that too during an election campaign, that its ability to perform its duty of defending the borders is not enhanced.
		Till this election, it was an axiom of Pakistani politics that the extremist religious parties have never reached double figures in their percentage of votes.
		The problem is that while the king’s party—the Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid-e-Azam)—is comprised only of puppets and, therefore, does not have a political base, the jihadis of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal do have a base of sorts in the madrasas [religious schools] and the terrorist training camps.
