Posted on Monday, June 18 at 10:20 by jensonj
On Wednesday, Mr Boucher told Pakistani opposition leaders in Islamabad that the US was "pressuring" military ruler President Musharraf to "fulfil the promises" he made regarding his re-election. A day earlier, the US Department of State had elaborated on those "promises". "There are going to be some important elections coming up in the fall time for a parliament. The parliament will then choose who will be Pakistan's next president," spokesman Sean McCormack told a State Department briefing on Tuesday. In other words, parliamentary elections come first.
