Various of Musharraf reviewing honour guard STORYLINE: Pervez Musharraf embarked on a new, five-year term as Pakistan's civilian president on Thursday, a day after resigning from the powerful post of army chief, which had formed the basis of his rule for the past eight years. Newly appointed Chief Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar offered congratulations after a solemn-looking Musharraf had sworn his oath. In his inaugural address, Musharraf said "This is a milestone in the transition of Pakistan to the complete essence of democracy." "Elections will be held in January come whatever may," he added, addressing an audience of government officials, foreign diplomats and military generals. Musharraf welcomed the return from exile of his old foes, former prime ministers Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif, as "good" for political reconciliation. "I only hope that they will ... move forward toward a conciliatory, civilised, democratic and political environment in the future," Musharraf said. However, neither were present at the ceremony, which took place in the state palace in Islamabad, and it remained unclear whether they would carry out their threat to boycott the upcoming parliamentary elections. Such a move would undercut Musharraf's effort to legitimise his rule through a democratic ballot. Musharraf again sought to justify his imposition of emergency rule on November 3, during which he purged the Supreme Court just as it was about to issue a verdict on the legality of his continued rule. The retooled court last week gave its stamp of approval. But Musharraf on Thursday gave no indication of when the emergency would be lifted - a key demand of both his domestic rivals and international backers.
