On Thursday, government officials and a member of Musharraf’s circle noted that Musharraf would resign instead of facing impeachment, attempt to remain in Pakistan, and evade criminal prosecution at the hands of a parliament dominated by the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N). However, elation over Musharraf’s departure will give way to somberness once the dust settles and the stark reality of a political power vacuum is revealed. Pakistan’s tenuous ruling coalition, which won elections in February, faces an uphill battle in forming a cohesive government once the only thing uniting them—opposition to Musharraf—is gone.
