  Gen Pervez Musharraf  
 

President Pervez Musharraf seized power in a bloodless coup in 1999. He took over from then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. As part of a deal with hardline Islamists to end political stand-off after general elections in 2003, Musharraf had promised to step down as military head of the country by January 2005. But, that is yet to happen. His supporters claim he is the 'right man at the right place' to take Pakistan forward. Despite his ambiguous position on democracy, the US and UK have hailed Musharraf's role against the so-called war on terror.
