Pakistan's former president Pervez Musharraf has said that he will contest next election in Pakistan. Speaking at a community function of Pakistanis in Dubai, he spoke about the deteriorating political and economic situation in Pakistan and criticised the present government for massive corruption and bad governance. He also promised to recreate country with the help of youth if voted into office. Media reports say that the former military ruler, who was at the helm of affairs for eight years since toppling Nawaz Sharif's government in 1999, now believes that people's power is stronger than the army uniform. Since the launching of his political party All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) in London this year, Musharraf has been busy meeting Pakistanis living abroad to muster support for his political aspirations for next general elections which are expected to be held in 2013.
