No decision on presidential poll, Senate told

ISLAMABAD, Jan 18: The government denied in the Senate on Thursday that the cabinet had decided to get President Pervez Musharraf re-elected by the present parliament and provincial assemblies, calming down a protesting opposition that vowed to resist such a move.

But the ruling coalition reaffirmed its position inside and outside the upper house that, under the constitution, the next presidential election must fall between Sept 15 and Oct 15 during the lifetime of the present assemblies elected in 2002 for five years and that General Musharraf would be its candidate.

Opposition leader Raza Rabbani raised the issue on the basis of media reports that quoted Information and Broadcasting Minister Mohammad Ali Durrani as telling a news conference on Wednesday that a cabinet meeting the same day had decided to have President Musharraf re-elected by the present assemblies.
