I am not sure. There were stories about Bhutto and Musharraf potentially working out some kind of deal via the elections (e.g. her as PM, he as President) that would have led to a transition to democracy. Whether either side would have played ball and it could have worked, I don't know but it seemed a plausible way out of the current impasse. As it is, Musharraf looks very vulnerable and without much of a powerbase. I doubt he will be partying - especially as some of Bhutto's supporters are likely to blame him for failing to protect their leader or worse.
