Pakistan's Supreme Court has dismissed a number of petitions challenging Gen Pervez Musharraf's right to become president again.
The next logical step should be for the Election Commission to formally declare him as winner of October's poll and for him to quit as army chief and be sworn in as president for another term.
Gen Musharraf won the October poll by a huge majority after most of the opposition boycotted or abstained in the national and provincial assemblies that choose the president.
Before October's vote, Gen Musharraf's lawyers promised the Supreme Court that he would quit as army chief before being sworn in as president again.
However, a lot of water has flowed down the bridge since October.
