ISLAMABAD: Former President Gen (rtd) Pervez Musharraf was mulling after just six months of February 2008 elections to replace the freshly elected government with that of technocrats, according to another WikiLeaks cables.
This was revealed in a cable sent to Washington on July 25, 2008.
According to cable, Musharraf, in view of weakening relations between Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari, was certain that the two will part ways and in that case, Zardari will fall in need of new allies to keep its majority from falling. Under the circumstances, PML-Q could come forward for the purpose.
However, Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani and Zardari apprehended that they could be at political disadvantage by working with the former dictator. And Gilani wanted to raise the issue in his US visit.
Musharraf sought the US government to assure Gilani that US support for Musharraf will continue.
