Miliband calls for early election to replace Musharraf

UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband today called for the early election of a new president in Pakistan following the resignation of Pervez Musharraf.

Mr Miliband said Mr Musharraf’s decision to step down ended a “critical period” in Pakistan’s history and paved the way for the recently-elected government to act in the long-term interests of the country’s people.
