Though incumbent Pervez Musharraf won an overwhelming victory in Pakistan's presidential election Oct. 6, he can't claim the prize until the Supreme Court rules on his constitutional eligibility. He is not the only candidate in that pickle. Joseph Francis of Lahore wants to be president but he can't because he's Catholic.
The constitution says the president must be Muslim. He petitioned the Supreme Court in August to overturn this discriminatory law and allow him to run. He has yet to hear from the court.
