Even as President Musharraf agreed that he could be removed from power by a two-thirds parliamentary majority, he made it clear that if the opposition formed the government after the crucial polls, they would be unable to impeach him on the ground that he held power unconstitutionally.
“I don’t care whether they like or not. I follow the constitution of Pakistan and I was elected according to the constitution of Pakistan.
Anybody who says it was not done constitutionally is absolutely wrong,” Musharraf told Financial Times of Britain in an interview.
The former Army Chief said he was prepared to work with a prime minister of the Pakistan People’s Party, whose leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated last month, or former premier Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.
“I have no choice. According to the constitution, the president has certain powers, [but] the government is run by the prime minister of Pakistan,” he told the daily at the Davos World Economic Forum.
At the same time, the President slammed the retired generals who earlier this week demanded his resignation as he had lost the confidence of Pakistani people.
“They are insignificant personalities,” Musharraf said, adding “Most of them are ones who served under me and I kicked them out ... They are insignificant. I am not even bothered by them.” However, Musharraf acknowledged that opinion polls had shown a significant decline in public support for him.
“I know that my popularity has reduced,” the president said, but argued that he could ride out the current political turmoil in the country.

World and Musharraf have conflict of interest. World wants Musharraf to reign in not only taliban but also al Queda and it's leaders, as both are synonymous to a large extent. On the other hand, Musharraf needs a controlled threat of these organisations, so that the money lent against terrorism can be squandered by it's army to buy modern weapons and continue smouldering low grade warfare against India. It would be foolish to forget the father of Kargil crisis. Whether he is impeacheed or not, world need to impress that control of jihadi terrorism is a must, or else be ready for further alignation. The current trip in the midest of severe crisis at home, possibly an eye wash to divert demands propossed by renowned world leaders.

Musharaaf has more knowlegde about Paki constituion than any person, even judges because he wrote it himself several times in the past 8 years. He is the author of Paki constitution. So how can he go wrong?
There is definitely devided opinion in Pakistan in regard to the acceptability of President Mushraf. For a free and fair elction, if desired Mr Mushraf may be asked to stay back out of the country till the elections are over and let the current chief justice conduct the elections under the survilence of the Pakistan army. There after President be allowed to return to the country. Ofcourse it may be a remote possibility.
Thats true.
