Pakistanis Would Rather Have 'President' Chaudhry: Time

This Time article article says 70% of the Pakistani respondents of a survey voted for My Lord the Chief Justice for the presidency against general Musharraf.

“The Pakistan Institute of Public Opinion, the local affiliate of Gallup International, recently posited a mock presidential poll between Musharraf and Chaudhry”, says the article. “Among those who voted, 70% chose the chief justice over the President.”

“It is not a choice between two persons", the article quotes Gallup Pakistan's Ijaz Shafi Gilani as saying. "The results of this simulated contest show a massive preference for the rule of law as opposed to martial law. In its resolve to uphold the rule of law, the civil society of Pakistan has never been so united before.”
