Musharraf party 'lagging in poll'

Supporters of opposition parties including Nawaz Sharif's PML-N and the PPP of the late Benazir Bhutto have been celebrating in the streets.Opposition parties in Pakistan have strong leads in elections, a spokesman for a party close to President Pervez Musharraf has conceded.He is not standing in the parliamentary election himself, but a clear defeat of his supporters could herald struggles over his presidency, analysts suggest."If the results are confirmed we will play the part of the opposition as effectively as we can," he said."The result will be the voice of the nation and whosoever wins we should accept it - that includes myself," said Mr Musharraf.
