Islamabad, February 21: Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on Thursday told his American counterpart George W Bush that the party that had secured a majority in the just-concluded General Election would form the new government and he would “facilitate” the process.

Bush, who telephoned Musharraf from his special aircraft ‘Air Force One’ while on his way to the African nation of Liberia, congratulated the Pakistan President on holding free and fair elections.

During their 15-minute conversation, Bush said the US would also support Pakistan’s efforts to usher in democracy and the fight against terror, official sources said.

Musharraf told Bush that the party that had a majority in the National Assembly, lower house of Parliament, would form the new Government and he would facilitate the formation of governments at the centre and the four provinces, the sources said.

The PML-Q, the party that backs Musharraf, was routed in the February 18 general election which was swept by the opposition PPP and the PML-N. Musharraf faces possible impeachment if the opposition parties unite to attain a two-thirds majority in the new Parliament.

Looks like America is Pakistan's 5th province as all the american media,presidential candidates,pentagon,think tanks and people give Pakistan so much importance that sometimes their own elections fade out.We Pakistanis are loving each and every second of world wide media coverage of Pakistan.
