In the two houses of parliament, Musharraf won 252 of 257 votes cast. His closest rival, Wajihuddin Ahmed, won two votes, while three votes were rejected, Chief Election Commissioner Qazi Muhammad Farooq told the National Assembly.
Musharraf had also won most votes cast in three of the four provincial assemblies, officials said. Counting was still going on in the fourth.
"This result shows the people want continuity of policy," Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz told reporters in parliament.
"It's a very good omen that the election was fair and transparent."

regardless was BIG blow to Alquada
