Islamabad: Pervez Musharraf swept the most votes in the presidential election in Pakistan on Saturday. However, he has to wait for the Supreme Court to confirm the legality of his bid before he can be declared winner.   

Members of the parliament and four provincial assemblies voted in the election, which was largely boycotted by the opposition.   

In the two houses of parliament, Musharraf won 252 of 257 votes cast; Wajihuddin Ahmed, won two votes, while three votes were rejected.   

Musharraf also reportedly won most votes cast in three of the four provincial assemblies. The results of the fourth one are awaited.
