<b>Sehba to be covering candidate</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->SLAMABAD - President General Pervez Musharraf has finally decided that none other than the first lady of Pakistan Begum Sehba Musharraf would be his covering candidate for the much controversial presidential polls to be held between September 15 and November 15.
The PML President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain spelled out the statement of Begum Sehba Musharraf’s covering candidacy during a private TV channel programme.
When Press Secretary to Chaudhry Shujaat, Qaiser Abbas was contacted he confirmed that the PML President said this during a TV programme.
During the programme, Chaudhry Shujaat also said that the matters relating to the presidential election would be clear within a week, after announcement of the election schedule.
This way, Chaudhry Shujaat has also scorched the rumours of his and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz acting as covering candidates for the presidential slot. It was earlier reported that either Shujaat or Aziz would be Musharraf’s covering candidate, in case, the Supreme Court of Pakistan disqualified him for participation in the elections due to his dual offices as President and Chief of Army Staff. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
