Pakistan's eyes turn to court after Musharraf sweeps vote Empty Pakistan's eyes turn to court after Musharraf sweeps vote

Attention shifted to Supreme Court deliberations on whether Pakistan's General Pervez Musharraf can claim victory after winning a landslide victory in a presidential election boycotted by nearly the entire opposition Saturday.
Opposition parties that snubbed the vote claimed it was undemocratic and unconstitutional for the U.S.-backed general, who seized power in a 1999 coup, to run while still army chief.
The Supreme Court is weighing that argument before permitting the release of official results, though analysts question whether it would dare deny him victory and potentially throw the country into chaos.
