Pakistan President Faces Political Uncertainty

Pakistani political experts say the country's president, General Pervez Musharraf, faces a decidedly uncertain future a day after the Supreme Court ended his chief rival's seven-year exile. With elections expected later this year, analysts say President Musharraf's once absolute hold on power is now up for grabs. From Islamabad, VOA correspondent Benjamin Sand reports.

Political experts say Thursday's ruling is a setback for the embattled president, General Pervez Musharraf.

Pakistan's Supreme Court ruled that former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif can end his seven-year exile, and the opposition leader says he will return home shortly.

Mr. Sharif heads a center-right political party and also leads a six-party opposition alliance.
